Lionel Messi's GOAT Tour in Kolkata Ends Abruptly as Fans Create Chaos

Lionel Messi’s highly anticipated return to Kolkata for the ‘GOAT Tour’ descended into chaos on Saturday, leaving thousands of fans disappointed and angry. Spectators at the Salt Lake Stadium expressed outrage, alleging a ‘scam’ after the Argentine football icon appeared for only roughly 10 minutes and left without completing a scheduled lap of the ground. ‘Management was absolute nonsense. After spending so much money, people have come from far,’ said one disappointed attendee, reflecting the mood of the crowd. Reports confirm that the situation spiralled out of control with vandalism and bottle-throwing as crowds felt shortchanged by the high ticket prices, which ranged from Rs 5,000 to Rs 25,000. Fans also complained that VIPs, including politicians and officials, surrounded Messi, preventing the general public from getting a clear view. Although Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was expected, reports indicate he and other dignitaries could not participate due to the disorder. The event, intended to be a celebration of football, ended with Messi being whisked away for security reasons, raising serious questions about the event's organisation.
