Lionel Messi in Delhi: Full Schedule of GOAT India Tour 2025

There must have been quite a lot of "chatter" regarding Lionel Messi's GOAT India Tour 2025 and when the GOAT himself will be leaving our shores after a memorable visit so high on honor. Soon, he will get busy in the national capital after having electrified Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. The tour was born controversially, especially at Kolkata; yet, with the instant celebration at Hyderabad and Mumbai, it proved to be unforgettable for everyone who looked at their champion live up close.

By the time Messi met Sachin Tendulkar for the first time, the Indian fans probably found themselves in a state of ecstasy. Before we moved to Delhi toward the end of this spectacle, the situation turned totally euphoric when La Pulga (Messi), along with Bhaichung Bhutia, indulged in an act of discovery-festival that might go down as 'one history.'

To round off his landmark visit to India, the "India-based Messi" will first make it to the capital, where he might interact with top government officials and personnel agog at the chance to rub elbows with him, India's greats from different games, and a star-studded lineup of guests during a host of renowned events.
