Lionel Messi's GOAT Tour India

The tour started in Kolkata on December 13, 2025, which unfortunately descended into chaos due to mismanagement by the organisers as fans failed to even get a glimpse of La Pulga. This was followed by his visit to Hyderabad, where he watched a 7v7 match from the sidelines and interacted with the players.

During his Mumbai leg, Messi met cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and Indian football star Sunil Chhetri. The tour ended in Delhi, where he met Jay Shah and India goalkeeper Aditi Chauhan, among others.
