After the Saturday(December 13,2025) morning chaos in Kolkata, Hyderabad prepared for a thrilling football event with a mix of excitement and caution.
Fans, organizers, and stakeholders were on edge at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, unsure if the disturbances from the City of Joy would impact their event down south.
It became clear that important lessons had been learned. Careful preparation, prompt execution, and a cast of international stars, including Rodrigo De Paul, Luis Suarez, and Lionel Messi, turned a chilly night into an exciting celebration of entertainment and sports.
Messi made a grand entrance into the city and headed to Falaknuma Palace.
During a meet-and-greet at the historic residence of the Nizams, singers Rahul Sipligunj, known for the Oscar-winning Naatu Naatu song, and Satyavathi Rathod entertained the partially filled stands in Uppal.
Cultural festivities soon transitioned into a 7v7 football match featuring Messi All Stars against Singareni RR9.
Fans jumped to their feet in the fourth minute, not to celebrate a goal, but in response to Messi’s arrival.
With Suarez and De Paul alongside him, the magician, equally excited and curious, watched the game from the sidelines, while Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy joined in, sporting the colors of his favorite club, Arsenal, even scoring a goal himself.
Messi, Suarez, and De Paul then captivated the audience with some quick dribbles and a few passes, giving the already star-struck fans an extra rush of adrenaline.
A penalty shootout took place, but Messi chose to skip it, opting to cheer from the sidelines instead.
Following that, 17 kids got the opportunity to kick the ball around with the Inter Miami trio during the football clinics.
The event wrapped up with the GOAT Cup trophy ceremony.
Kolkata To Hyderabad
If the morning’s deviation from the plan caused chaos, the atmosphere was completely different as the clock struck 9 p.m.
Messi Words
Messi decided to share a few words, even though it was in Spanish.
“Thank you for the love and affection I have received today in this country, and for your participation tonight”, he expressed, as the fans erupted in cheers.
