Chaos scenes when Messi visited India

Soccer star Lionel Messi's visit to the Indian city of Calcutta ended in tumultuous scenes, with glass bottles and chairs thrown as disappointed spectators stormed the stadium.

Spectators reportedly paid up to the equivalent of 2,000 kronor for what they thought was an opportunity to personally meet the Argentine star, but instead Messi only stayed for a couple of minutes, didn't shoot any penalties and was barely visible from the stands due to the VIP guests getting better seats, writes Hindustan Times .

Messi, who is on a tour of India with Inter Miami teammates Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, has now traveled on to a similar event, this time in Hyderabad.
