Kolkata woke up to history as football legend Lionel Messi arrived at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK), better known as Salt Lake Stadium, marking the start of his much-awaited GOAT Tour of India. For a country where football lives in the hearts of millions, Messi’s presence felt unreal — a dream come true for fans who grew up watching his magic on television screens.
From the moment Messi landed in the City of Joy, the atmosphere turned electric. Roads leading to the stadium were packed with fans wearing Argentina jerseys, waving flags, holding posters, and chanting his name nonstop. Despite early hours and tight security, the passion of Kolkata’s football lovers was impossible to control. The city truly lived up to its reputation as India’s football capital.
Messi’s arrival at VYBK was greeted with thunderous applause as he stepped onto the iconic turf. Even a brief appearance was enough to send the crowd into a frenzy. Phones were raised, voices echoed across the stadium, and emotions ran high as fans finally saw the GOAT with their own eyes. For many, it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment — witnessing the World Cup winner in person.
However, the overwhelming crowd also highlighted the massive scale of Messi’s popularity in India. While organisers tried their best to manage the situation, the sheer number of fans showed how deeply football icons are loved in the country. Despite some disruptions, the moment remained historic and unforgettable.
The Kolkata stop is just the beginning of Messi’s India tour, which will take him to other major cities for fan events, interactions, and celebrations of football. Beyond stadiums and events, this tour represents something bigger — inspiration for young Indian footballers and proof that the global game continues to grow in India.
