Kolkata, Sep 1: Superstar footballer Lionel Messi is set to keep his date with India and unfold his magic when he leads Argentina in a FIFA international friendly against Venezuela here tomorrow when the euphoria of one of the most high-profile matches in the country reaches the crescendo.
History will be scripted at the 120,000-capacity Yuba Bharati Krirangan at Salt Lake here when the two time world champions with the world’s best footballer in their ranks take on their South American rivals.
24-year-old Messi, the twice World Footballer of the Year and nicknamed ‘The Flea’, will be cynosure of all eyes for the football-crazy city that had in the past hosted the likes of Pele, Oliver Kahn, Diego Maradona, Gerd Muller and Diego Forlan.
