Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency Kolkata: Lionel
Messi stayed at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata for only 20 minutes, while
angry fans broke security protocol after barely getting a glimpse of the
Argentina football legend.
Lionel Messi's Kolkata leg of the 'G.O.A.T.
Tour of India 2025' ended in shambles on Saturday morning. Fans were unable to
get a glimpse of the Argentina football icon due to him being surrounded by
several people, ultimately leading to chaos and vandalisation at the
Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) Stadium in Salt Lake, Kolkata. What
should have been a two-hour-long event - during which Messi was supposed to
meet superstar actor Shah Rukh Khan, cricket legend Sourav Ganguly and West
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee - ended in less than half an hour,
leaving fans extremely upset. Here's an entire timeline of how events unfolded.
