Messi ‘MESS’ In Kolkata: Die-Hard Messi Fans Furious Over Messi’s ‘Blink & Miss’ Appearance

Oneindia

What was meant to be a historic, once-in-a-lifetime moment for football fans in Kolkata spiralled into chaos as Lionel Messi’s much-hyped appearance at the Vivekananda Yuvabharati Salt Lake Stadium lasted barely minutes. Supporters who paid premium prices were left stunned and furious after the Argentine legend’s planned interaction was cut short amid overcrowding, VIP congestion and apparent mismanagement.    Messi’s brief presence—often described by fans as a “blink and miss” moment—triggered unrest inside the stadium, with angry spectators protesting, throwing objects and damaging hoardings. Dramatic visuals of the chaos quickly flooded social media, overshadowing the festive build-up that had surrounded Messi’s arrival in the city and turning what should have been a celebration of football into a night of disappointment and disorder.    #LionelMessi #MessiKolkata #MessiEventChaos #KolkataMessiEvent #MessiChaos #KolkataChaos #MessiInIndia #MessiFans #FootballChaos #KolkataFootball #MessiLiveEvent #IndianFootball #MessiControversy #FanFury #StadiumChaos #FootballFans #MessiNews #KolkataNews #SportsBreaking #ViralVideo

00:48see him properly, that was like the most disappointing thing I have ever witnessed.

00:53The minimum ticket was 5k and why were the VVIPs around Messi?

00:58We couldn't even see him, we couldn't even get a glimpse of him.

01:17There for 10 minutes, we hardly, like the public even we had some, we paid some 10,000, 12,000

01:25but we couldn't have a glance at him.

01:27So all the members, the management, they were like, stick to him, altogether, he was just

01:32for 10 minutes, we couldn't see him for a bit.

01:34So it was a disaster, I can say, no one, the public was booing him, like we were all waited

01:41two hours for there, okay, we were there for two hours from morning, okay, people were like,

01:45like very enthusiastic, they were shouting at all but Messi came.

01:49The people, they were playing, I don't know why they were playing, how they were playing,

01:53Messi was there and they were just eager to sign their own jerseys.

01:56The political leaders somewhere there, they were eager to click pictures with them, okay,

02:01so yes, that's, he said, that's just a scam, a business, they made a profit out of the people's

02:07money.

02:08It's just a scam.

02:15But in Kolkata, the people, the love, the love for football is too much.

02:20We love the football, the love for Messi is too much, but the, whatever we experienced

02:26here is not at all we experienced in, in, in last, like Messi came into 2011, that time

02:32also we saw there, but it was a disaster, it was a scam, it was a business.

02:37Actually, if I had been in Messi's position, I would have done the same, seeing the utter

02:42chaos, the management, the authorities, absolutely rubbish.

02:47All of the people that you see here, we all love football.

02:51Genuinely, we wanted to see Messi a glimpse, but it was a total scam.

02:57We want our money back, to be honest, and Mr. Sotadro Dutta, who's the main person behind

03:02this event, he did a good job, but unfortunately the management was so bad.

03:07It is a black day for Kolkata.

03:09Kolkata is known for football and we love football, we love Argentina, but this experience is absolutely

03:15a scam, the people, the, if the ministers was there with their sons, daughter, everybody,

03:22the other people, we could not see one, you can see, see, everyone is saying the same thing.

03:28This is absolutely not done, we are very hurt.

03:45We are very hurt, we are very hurt, we are very hurt, we are very hurt, we are very hurt.

03:59We are not able to see anything, it is a scam, it is a scam, it is a scam.
