FOR THREE HOURS on Sunday, the iconic cricket stadium in Mumbai turned into a football coliseum.

- MIHIR VASAVDA

As is always the case on match days, Wankhede Stadium was blue, but today the shade was lighter, the one associated with Argentine footballers. Thousands in the stands wore No.10 — Sachin Tendulkar’s number in these parts. But tonight it was for another No.10 — the global sporting superstar Lionel Messi.The first leg of Messi’s GOAT India Tour had descended into chaos in Kolkata on Saturday, with fans feeling cheated as most of them didn’t get to see the one-of-a-kind footballer. On Sunday, Mumbai got its Messi fill. The World Cup winner stepped onto the red carpet laid out for him at 5:51 pm, and his grand entry got the roof down. Beside him were his club teammates Rodrigo de Paul and Luis Suárez. But all eyes were on Messias cameras kept flashing where the star ventured.
