Taking to their Instagram handle on Friday, District by Zomato shared a fast-paced video featuring love from the fans of Messi from India.

The high-paced film acts as a cultural tribute to the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, weaving together raw, emotional visuals from football heartlands across India.

The video featured children playing barefoot football with makeshift goalposts, and adults recreating Lionel Messi's iconic moments.

The cinematic piece perfectly captured India's devotion to the greatest footballer of all time.

According to the District, the video is backed by an originally composed track blending instrumentation with contemporary beats.

The video pays tribute to the footballer, showing how Lionel Messi's influence has shaped generations of Indian football lovers.

Last month, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced Messi's trip to Maharashtra on December 14 would be part of the GOAT Tour.

The 2022 Qatar World Cup winner gifted Fadnavis a signed ball.

Fadnavis revealed that during Messi's time in India, under-14 young football players from across the state will be selected by the Maharashtra Sports Department, and they will get the opportunity to practise with Messi on December 14.

Messi is set to visit Indian states including Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi.

Mumbai - December 14, 2025, | Wankhede Stadium

Delhi - December 15, 2025, | Arun Jaitley Stadium
