While Messi was posing for a group photo with fans, De Paul intervened, politely pushing aside a security guard to make room for a young boy. This heartwarming gesture quickly went viral on social media. De Paul, often jokingly referred to as Messi's unofficial bodyguard, has consistently displayed loyalty and camaraderie towards the Argentine during their time together with the Argentina national team. Messi's visit to Delhi was well-managed, unlike his recent visit to Kolkata. Delhi's Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, met Messi, who was accompanied by Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul. Gupta was joined by ICC chief Jay Shah and DDCA boss Rohan Jaitley, who gifted Messi, De Paul, and Suarez jerseys of the Indian cricket team. Messi also received a special framed bat. In addition to his interactions with fans, Messi met Indian football legend Bhaichung Bhutia and posed for a photograph with him, Suarez, and De Paul. During his Mumbai visit, Messi also met Sunil Chhetri and Sachin Tendulkar, two of India's most renowned sports personalities. Chhetri shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing his gratitude to Messi for inspiring him and the Indian football community. Chhetri's encounter with Messi and other Argentine legends, including Luis Suarez, was a highlight of his trip to Mumbai. The visit was a testament to the enduring impact of Messi's passion for football and his dedication to the sport."
