Wait what ? They even build a giant statue of messi ? Wtf ?

Lionel Messi's of India kicked off chaotically on Saturday as fans threw objects, ripped up seats and invaded the pitch at Kolkata's Salt Lake stadium after the Argentine soccer great made only a brief appearance at a ticketed event.

Satadru Dutta, the event's chief organizer, has been detained by police, said Rajeev Kumar, director general of West Bengal police.

Messi was scheduled for a 45-minute visit to the stadium, but his appearance lasted just 20 minutes. Tickets for the event were priced from around 3,500 rupees ($38.65) - more than half of average weekly income in India - but one fan said he had paid $130.

Paying USD 133 just to watch a group of people walk around the stadium in short time...

Waste of time and money

Last time he at hk, he was not even playing…

They scam ppl can

Ppl scam them cannot

Typical saya boleh buat, lu tak boleh

Visit stadium only? Not playing. Like this also can get many ticket sales

Kasi Chan, Messi sudah tua. Boleh tahan 20 min je

Produce your own star la. 1 billion human also dumb & dumber.

The seat so lousy can rip off......


Oh wai......

After destroyed your house what you get? Who want to pay damages?

It's the organizer's fault.

Sunday morning asking to get whacked tered

Kesian the people who fell prey to greedy money grabbing scheme though any form of violence should be avoided.

Kinda messi

In another venue, messi didn't bother to change out of sweat pants. Organizer also salah, make play him with a person who can't do a proper pass. Messi have to chase stray ball

Feels like Messi is a money grubbing asshole. Great footballer, but not a nice person.
