After an eventful Day 1 marked by chaos in Kolkata and a memorable fan interaction in Hyderabad, the Argentine legend now gears up for an event in Mumbai.| Sports News

Hours after the Lionel Messi GOAT India Tour 2025 resulted in massive chaos at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday, organiser Satadru Dutta was arrested by the police.

Messi becomes the sixth player in MLS history to win MVP and a championship in the same season. Of the previous five, only Atlanta United's Josef Martinez in 2018 won MVP, a title and the Golden Boot as the league's scoring champion all in the same year, another hat trick of sorts that Messi achieved in 2025.

Lionel Messi’s Mumbai stop on his GOAT India Tour 2025 has placed him at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, where he is staying in a high-security sea-facing luxury suite costing around Rs 2.3 lakh per night.

The Spain star becomes the youngest player to reach 150 appearances for Barcelona in La Liga at the tender age of 23 years and 18 days. He beats the record previously held by a certain Lionel Messi, who was 23 years and 121 days when he hit the landmark against Real Zaragoza.

MLS claims 3.6 million people watched on Apple TV and MLS Season Pass, as well as in Canada on TSN and RDS, as well as other international linear partners, including TNT and HBO Max in Mexico. That would mean north of 3.3 million viewers watched MLS Cup on Apple TV and other international linear partners.

Messi bagged two assists to claim the 47th trophy of his glittering career, earning his first MLS Cup title win as Miami ran out 3–1 winners against the Whitecaps, who were also beaten in the Concacaf Champions Cup final earlier this year.

The entire chaos triggered as thousands gathered at the stadium failed to catch a glimpse of the talismanic footballer despite paying hefty sums for tickets ranging from Rs 4000-10000.
