Lionel Messi’s visit to Kolkata has brought in quite a massive mess. Soon after his visit to the Salt Lake stadium, fans were left disheartened when Messi left within minutes. According to fans, who spent thousands to buy tickets to get a glimpse of Messi, could not get a glance of him, because he was surrounded by politicians and bodyguards all the while inside the stadium. The fans vandalised the stadium, and ever since then, the debates have been circulating on the internet.
