Messi in Kolkata: Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina who won the World Cup, arrived in Kolkata after midnight on December 13. The 38-year-old was accompanied by Rodrygo de Paul and Luis Suarez, two of his Inter Miami teammates. Notably, Satadru Datta and his staff greeted the trio at the airport when they arrived at the City of Joy at approximately 3:30 am. Suarez was seen sporting a white t-shirt, while the so-called “little magician” was dressed in blue jeans and a coat.
Messi was taken from another path in anticipation of a large crowd outside the airport, but the fans persisted. To catch a sight of the maestro, they congregated on the Bypass Road, and some even made reservations at the same hotel.
