One of the biggest names in the footballing world, Lionel Messi, arrived in the City of Joy early in the morning on Staurday. Fans had been waiting for this moment for a long time, with thousands gathering for a glimpse of the Argentine icon. However, Messi had to be escorted through an alternate route due to the overwhelming crowd.
This is the first time since 2011 that Messi has visited India.
Lionel Messi meets Shah Rukh Khan and his son, AbRam, at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
