“I can divorce with my wife just to see Messi” - Fan travels from Nepal to India to meet Lionel Messi and makes emphatic claim

A Lionel Messi fan from Nepal has boldly claimed that he would have divorced his wife to come to the event in India. The young fan said he had to skip his college classes on Saturday, December 13, to attend the event in Kolkata, India.

Messi, along with Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suarez, arrived in India in the early hours of Saturday, December 13, for his GOAT tour. The Argentine had fans waiting at the airport and on the streets when ANI caught up with a fan who had traveled from Nepal for the event. He said:

"It's one of my dreams just to see Messi, and now here I am at India from the neighboring country Nepal. I am feeling very good and thank you from Nepal, thank you to India, thank you to Kolkata, thank you to Satarudu Dada, and thank you to all the people of Kolkata. I have come to Kolkata because of my favorite, but my favorite fanbase is also very good. I have bought a ticket to [the] Messi [event] just to see him."

"I want to mention my family, my father, my brother, and my mother, who gave me permission and who made my dream come true. Without them, without my family, I am no one. I also want to mention Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suarez because they are also legendary players, and I admire both of them. But it's so much love for Messi. Messi is here. My right heart is my family and left heart is my Messi. I can divorce with my wife just to see Messi. Yeah, that's love for me. And I come from that far by skipping my college and by skipping my education just to see Messi."

Lionel Messi has an event today in Kolkata, before traveling to Hyderabad for a similar event in the evening. He also has stops in Mumbai and New Delhi before heading back to the United States.
