Lionel Messi's GOAT India Tour

The Argentine footballer started his India tour on December 13, 2025, in Kolkata, where things turned chaotic when fans failed to get even a glimpse of the star as he was guarded by politicians and VIPS in the ground. His Hyderabad visit on the same day, however, concluded smoothly, where he met the fans and was honoured by CM Revanth Reddy and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi following the exhibition game in Uppal.

On December 14, Messi travelled to Mumbai and attended a meet-and-greet with celebrities at the Cricket Club of India before heading to the Wankhede Stadium, where he met the fans and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and former Indian footballer Sunil Chhetri.

Following his visit to Delhi on December 15 morning, the World Cup winner visited Vantara, an animal rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation initiative by Anant Ambani.
