Sunil Chhetri not Visiting Lionel Messi in Mumbai? Find Out What Exactly is Going On

Lionel Messi is currently on tour in India to give the Indian fans an opportunity to take a glimpse of arguably the greatest player of all time. Earlier, Messi had visited the country in 2011 when he was a rising star, but now the hype is even greater as the little boy from Rosario is a man who has conquered it all, including the FIFA World Cup in 2022.

After cancelling the GOAT India tour at Kolkata due to fan vandalism, he was welcomed in Hyderabad without any problems. Now, the Argentine superstar is set to visit Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Sunday, 14th December. Sunil Chhetri is about to meet with Messi in Mumbai as part of the event, but some news has surfaced that has made the fans raise their eyebrows. Let's know more in detail what has been transpiring.

Will Sunil Chhetri meet Lionel Messi?

As a part of the G.O.A.T tour, Inter Miami player Lionel Messi is set to visit the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where he will be greeted by thousands of die-hard fans who have been waiting for the Argentinian. Sunil Chhetri is expected to meet Messi as part of the Lionel Messi in Mumbai event, which has been posted on the official X account of Bengaluru FC.

However, some news outlets have reported that the Sunil Chhetri and Messi union are not going to meet, despite the official announcement from ISL Club Bengaluru FC. However, the club itself hasn't reacted to these rumours yet.

The Lionel Messi GOAT India Tour is one of the biggest footballing events happening on Indian soil, with people now getting a chance to see Messi in Wankhede Stadium next. Lionel Messi in Mumbai will be a visual spectacle for all the fans assembling there. Fans have waited for months to see their idol up close, and the day has finally arrived when the footballing God will grace the city.

Fans will be even more joyous if their national hero meets and shares some time with Messi in Wankhede Stadium, but it is up to Sunil Chhetri and the organisers ultimately on whether he will share the same space as the Argentine. Neither Sunil Chhetri nor Bengaluru FC have provided an update on the same. Sportsdunia will keep you updated if there is further development on this.
