Lionel Messi's "GOAT Tour" of India was marred by chaotic scenes Saturday after fans threw ripped up seats and invaded the pitch during the Argentina star's brief appearance.
Messi's tour will see him travel from Kolkata to Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi. However, it did not get off to a dream start, as his appearance was reportedly cut to just 20 minutes due to the violence.
The highlight of tour's opening day was meant to be the unveiling of a 70-foot Messi statue -- which is reported to be the largest statue of a footballer ever created.
