Kolkata: Kolkata’s much-hyped tryst with football icon Lionel Messi turned chaotic on Saturday, as moments of celebration at the Salt Lake Stadium were replaced by unrest and disappointment among thousands of fans. Messi, who is in India as part of his GOAT Tour, made only a brief appearance here at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan..
This was Argentina’s third Major tournament trophy in a row (2021 Copa America, 2022 FIFA World Cup) making them the first South American side to achieve this feat.
Lionel Messi and Argentina have finally overcome their biggest hurdle. The side beat Chile through a late goal to win 1-0 and confirm their place in the quarterfinals of Copa America.
