Reported by Sanchita chatterjee kolkata: December 13th will be remembered as a dark day in the history of Kolkata football and its passionate fans. The arrest of the main organizer is a good first step, but the rot is clearly much deeper, and all future sporting events should be carefully monitored to prevent a recurrence.
As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of Lionel Messi fans clad in blue and white.Millions of Messi fans, who had spent ₹18,000 on tickets, started rioting after failing to see their idol. No one expected Messi to play, but the organizers had promised that he would attend an exhibition match; meaning Messi's fans would get to see him watching the game. Furthermore, Messi was supposed to interact with Shah Rukh Khan, Mamata Banerjee, and Sourav Ganguly, which would have given the footballer's fans even more time to see him. The packed stadium crowd clearly thought they would have Messi to themselves for at least an hour and a half. But that dream was shattered, igniting a fire of anger and disappointment.
