Beautiful tribute! As a football coach in Delhi, I've seen how Messi has changed the game for young players here. The opportunity for under-14 players to practice with him is life-changing. Hope this inspires more parents to support football careers.

Tickets are way too expensive for common people. ₹15,000 for basic seats? Most genuine fans who grew up watching Messi can't afford this. Wish there were more affordable options for true football lovers.
