Lionel Messi concluded his India tour with a memorable final stop in New Delhi, leaving the country late at night after an emotional farewell at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Argentine World Cup winner was warmly received by fans and officials, marking a fitting end to his three-day visit.

A Grand Farewell at Arun Jaitley Stadium

Earlier in the afternoon, Messi walked around the stadium, smiling and waving to thousands of cheering supporters. The stands were filled with fans wearing blue No. 10 jerseys, chanting his name in unison. Messi then watched a celebrity exhibition match and later joined the celebrations by kicking balls into the gallery alongside teammates Luis SuΓ‘rez and Rodrigo De Paul.

The trio also spent time greeting players from Minerva Academy, sharing light football moments with young children on the field, and creating scenes that delighted the crowd.

Special Gifts and T20 World Cup Invitation

The highlight of the event came when ICC chairman Jay Shah presented Messi with a bat and jersey signed by the Indian team that recently won the T20 World Cup. Messi received a No. 10 jersey, while SuΓ‘rez and De Paul were gifted jerseys numbered 9 and 7, respectively.

Messi was also handed the opening-match ticket for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which begins on February 7 with a clash between India and the United States. The football icon has been officially invited to attend the match.

Speaking to fans before departing India, Messi said,
