""Seeing the utter chaos, the management, the authorities, it was absolutely rubbish. All the people you see here love football. We all wanted to see Messi, but it was a total scam. We want our money back. "The management was so bad. It is a black day for Kolkata. Kolkata is known for football, and we love football, we love Argentina, but this experience is absolutely a scam. The ministers were there with their children, and the other people could not see anything. We are very hurt.""
""Lionel Messi 's promotional trip to India descended into chaos this morning when fans hurled chairs onto the pitch at the Salt Lake Stadium to express their anger at the brief appearance of the Argentina superstar.""
"Another said: "Absolutely terrible event. He came for just 10 minutes. All the leaders and ministers surrounded him. We couldn't see anything. He didn't take a single kick or a single penalty. He came for 10 minutes and left. So much money, emotions, and time wasted. We couldn't see anything.""
Lionel Messi visited Kolkata as part of his GOAT Tour and was scheduled to do a lap of honour at Salt Lake Stadium. Fans grew angry because his appearance was very brief and he was barely visible, leading to chairs and bottles being thrown onto the pitch. Organisers escorted Messi away and the event was cut short amid uproar. Attendees called the experience a scam and demanded refunds, criticising poor management and the presence of leaders and ministers blocking views. An official apologised to Messi, and earlier he had unveiled a 70-foot statue at Sree Bhumi Sporting Club.
