The city of Kolkata saw a mix of wild joy and total chaos as football star Lionel Messi arrived. Thousands of die-hard fans waited for hours at the airport, hoping to see their hero, but were left heartbroken. Organisers took Messi out through a back door, denying the huge crowd even a quick wave, which only added to the brewing tension. This rush and confusion marked the beginning of what felt like a truly messy visit for the football legend.

The situation exploded at the stadium, where many paid high prices just for a glimpse. Angry fans, unable to see Messi properly due to poor management and people crowding him, started throwing bottles and chairs onto the field. The chaos was so great that Messi's lap of honour was cut short, and he had to leave the venue quickly under heavy security. Many felt cheated, leading to disappointment over the event's poor planning and the lost chance to see their idol up close.
