A crowd of fans welcomed Lionel Messi who arrived in Calcutta for his three-day tour of India together with his Inter Miami teammates Rodrigo de Paul and Luis Suarez. The case broke out in particular at the Salt Lake Stadium: the fans in the stands went wild, throwing some seats onto the pitch and invading the pitch before being removed by the police. Messi is in India as part of the GOAT Tour, during which he is expected to attend concerts, youth football clinics and a padel tournament, and launch charity drives at events in Calcutta, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi.
