Following a chaotic experience in Kolkata the previous day, Messi’s ongoing three-day, four-city GOAT tour of India found its rhythm again in Hyderabad and Mumbai. The crowd, which had gathered at the stadium since the afternoon, erupted with excitement as Messi, Sachin, and India’s football great Sunil Chhetri shared the stage at different points during the event. Messi, accompanied by Inter Miami teammates Rodrigo de Paul and Luis Suarez, received a gift from Sachin -- the former Indian skipper’s iconic jersey from the 2011 Cricket World Cup -- in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Sachin described it as a “golden moment for Mumbai and India,” and the fans’ reaction reaffirmed the great batter’s words, with chants of “Messi… Messi… Sachin… Sachin” rising from every corner of the stadium.
