Lionel Messi Kolkata Event Turns Chaotic as Fans Protest Mismanagement
Lionel Messi Kolkata: Lionel Messi’s much-anticipated Kolkata stop on the G.O.A.T. Tour descended into chaos at the Yuva Bharati Krirangan as thousands of fans failed to get a proper glimpse of the football icon despite high-priced tickets.
Messi arrived at the venue around 11:15 am and stayed briefly, but heavy security presence and mismanagement blocked visibility. Angry fans threw chairs and bottles, forcing organisers to cut short the programme and whisk Messi away without a full stadium lap.
