Jakarta, CNN Indonesia --

Lionel Messi's tour of India was marred by chaos on Saturday (December 13th). Thousands of fans packed into Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium vented their anger after the superstar was only on site for about 20 minutes.

Messi came to India as part of a special tour that included various agendas, ranging from attending concerts, coaching clinics for young players, padel tournaments, and charity activities.

The tour is scheduled to take place in several major cities such as Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi, so public enthusiasm has been very high since long ago.

According to reports, the 2022 World Cup winner walked around the stadium waving to the crowd.

However, Messi was surrounded by a large entourage and left the stadium just 20 minutes after his arrival. This situation sparked great disappointment among fans who had waited for hours and paid a high price.

Anger was inevitable. Some spectators uprooted stadium seats and threw them onto the field and athletics track.

Some people even climbed over the fence and threw various objects into the stadium area.

"Only leaders and actors surround Messi. Then why did they call us? We have tickets worth 12,000 rupees, but we can't even see his face," a fan told Indian media outlet ANI, as reported by Reuters.
