New Delhi provided the perfect closing chapter to Lionel Messi’s much-talked-about GOAT India Tour 2025, as the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner headlined a grand celebration at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. After an eventful and, at times, chaotic start to the tour in Kolkata, the Delhi leg delivered the spectacle fans had hoped for.

Joined by Inter Miami teammates Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, Messi was welcomed by a near-capacity crowd that had waited patiently through travel delays to witness football history. The capital’s evening transformed into a celebration of legacy, humility and global sporting stardom, as thousands soaked in a rare opportunity to see one of the greatest footballers of all time up close, bringing the tour to an emotionally charged and seamless conclusion.
