'Yet Another Scam'
Another hyped international celebrity event in India and yet another scam.
50,000+ paying fans, waiting for hours. Messi showed for up for less than 10 minutes, was surround by VIP’s and politicians and vanished.

'Proper Scam'
Can you see Messi? Well, no one could. A full stadium of people who paid to get a glimpse of the GOAT saw a bunch of people who are either babus relatives or cops cousins and what not. #MessiInKolkata was a shit show by the organisers. Proper scam by the organisers. #GOATTour pic.twitter.com/eupxYN1Vuv

Big Scam
🚨 BIG SCAM 🚨
People paid between ₹8k to ₹12k for tickets to see Messi, but because of poor management, they didn’t get a proper chance to watch him. Messi was brought onto the ground for only around 10 minutes, frustrated fans went onto the field and vandalized the stadium. pic.twitter.com/mzduQmnYom

Fan's Sarcasm on Lionel Messi's GOAT India Tour
Congratulations to the officials, politicians, and volunteers for turning Messi's walk into your personal photo op. Meanwhile, the actual fans, the ones who funded this event with their ticket money could barely see him.
