Lionel Messi’s upcoming India tour is turning into one of the most anticipated football events of the year, with reports confirming that Luis Suarez will accompany him, while discussions are underway to bring Neymar on board for a nostalgic MSN reunion. The legendary trio, who once dazzled the world at FC Barcelona, could be seen together again during Messi’s three-day visit in December 2025.
According to reports, Messi’s tour will begin in Kolkata on December 13, where fans can expect a grand event at the Salt Lake Stadium, followed by appearances at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on December 14 and New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on December 15. Suarez’s participation has been confirmed, and the star forward will travel alongside Messi and Rodrigo De Paul via a private jet from Miami through Dubai.
An official from the organising committee revealed that both Suarez and De Paul will stay with Messi for the entirety of his India tour. “Suarez’s presence is confirmed, and so is De Paul’s. They’ll travel with Messi from Miami to Calcutta via Dubai and attend all the events,” said the source.
Meanwhile, talks with Neymar Jr. are still ongoing. Event organisers are working to make the dream reunion possible, though Neymar’s current commitments with Santos might delay his participation. However, even if the Brazilian superstar doesn’t make it this time, fans may not have to wait long, as reports suggest Neymar could join Inter Miami CF in January once his Santos contract concludes.
The MSN trio — Messi, Suarez, and Neymar — was one of the most iconic attacking combinations in football history, leading Barcelona to a historic treble in the 2014–15 season. Together, they won multiple domestic and international titles, including two La Liga championships, three Copa del Reys, one Champions League, and a Club World Cup, contributing a staggering 364 goals and 174 assists.
For Indian fans, Messi’s return marks a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness football greatness up close — and if Neymar’s deal goes through, the event could go down as one of the biggest football moments in India’s sporting history.
