According to Indian media reports, Messi remained at the stadium for only 10 to 20 minutes, far less than what fans had expected. Many supporters had waited for hours, hoping to see their hero play a few touches of football or at least greet the crowd properly.
As frustration grew, some fans became restless and vandalism broke out inside the stadium. Angry supporters complained that Messi was surrounded by politicians and officials, leaving ordinary fans unable to catch even a clear glimpse of him.
‘We couldn’t see anything. He was hidden behind leaders and ministers,’ said one disappointed fan. Others expressed regret, saying Messi did not kick a ball, wave to the crowd, or interact in any meaningful way.
Fans described the event as poorly managed and emotionally draining, calling it one of the most disappointing football events they had ever attended.
Many felt the visit was more symbolic than sincere, leaving behind hurt feelings instead of happy memories.
What was meant to be a celebration of football ended in anger and broken expectations, showing how fragile fan emotions can be when dreams are raised but not fulfilled.
