Messi Omits Salt Lake Stadium From India Tour Highlights; Video Features Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy: Argentina football legend Lionel Messi released a commemorative video of his 'GOAT India Tour' on Wednesday, notably excluding any footage of his appearance at Kolkata’s Yuba Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium).
The omission comes amid a backdrop of administrative mismanagement and fan unrest during the Kolkata leg of the tour, which was marred by mismanagement resulting in fans' outrage and the arrest of the event organiser.
The video, shared on Messi's official Instagram account, includes only one event from Kolkata, the unveiling of Messi’s statue at Lake Town. There are no visuals from Yuva Bharati Krirangan. The rest of the video is dominated by scenes from Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi. It shows Messi playing football with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy at the Hyderabad stadium, interacting with children, kicking the ball into the stands and waving to spectators.
