Messi fans only were able to catch a brief glimpse of their favourite player after paying expensive tickets.
Lionel Messi’s first visit to India since 2011, in the form of a ‘GOAT’ Tour visiting Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi, participating in friendly matches and other fan events, turned into chaos on Saturday at Kolkata’s Salt Lake, with riots and arrests. Fans were left disappointed after paying tickets worth around 4,500 rupees, or 42 euros -and some paid twice that much- and barely catching a glimpse at the Argentinian footballer in a shorter than expected appearance.
According to testimoies, Messi was on sight for only 20 minutes, most of the time completely surrounded by people, and only did a short walk around the stadium. Fans were anry and started throwing objects and vandalizing the stadium when Messi left. Three people were arrested for vandalism, as well as the organiser of the event.
According to Indian Express, Messi’s security team escorted the player out of the stadium as they felt unsafe, when people were already booing and showing their dissatisfaction.
These scenes only happened in Kolkata. The rest of the Messi « GOAT Tour » happened without incidents the rest of the weekend, as Messi took part in other activities like attending concerts, a padel tournament and visits to football academies.

Superior fit, comfort & noise isolation
For many AirPods Pro users, the listening experience doesn’t always live up to expectations—not because of the earbuds themselves, but because of the smallest component: the ear tips. The default silicone tips included with Apple’s AirPods Pro often struggle to deliver a consistently secure fit, all-day comfort, or reliable noise isolation.
A seal that breaks even slightly reduces Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance, weakens sound clarity, and can leave users constantly adjusting their earbuds to keep them from slipping.
That’s where Comply TrueGrip Premium Memory Foam Ear Tips come in. A simple $25 upgrade that can completely transform the AirPods Pro experience across generations (AirPods Pro 1, 2 & 3), these replacement tips deliver a superior fit, unmatched comfort, and dramatically improved noise isolation. If you rely on your AirPods Pro for commuting, working, exercising, or travel, this upgrade is one you’ll immediately feel.Why silicone struggles—and how memory foam solves it
Silicone ear tips, even with Apple’s updated design in AirPods Pro 3, don’t always adapt well to natural ear canal movement. Smiling, talking, chewing, or jogging can break the seal, causing the earbuds to loosen or fall out entirely. Many users also experience pressure discomfort during longer listening sessions—particularly during flights, long work calls, or study sessions.
Comply’s slow-rebound memory foam expands gently to your ear’s unique shape, creating a soft but secure seal that stays put through movement. Users report that while the new AirPods Pro 3 hybrid silicone-foam tips improve retention compared to earlier models, they still create more pressure in the ear canal and aren’t as comfortable or stable as Comply’s fully-foam design.Superior fit, comfort & noise isolation
Secure fit that doesn’t budge: The adaptive foam eliminates the constant readjusting many users experience. Whether jogging, lifting weights, commuting, or working in a chaotic environment, the TrueGrip tips hold firm and help prevent accidental slip-outs.
Comfort designed for all-day wear: Unlike silicone, which pushes outward and creates pressure points, memory foam compresses when inserted and then expands slowly. The result is a cushioned, almost weightless feel that reduces ear fatigue. Users who previously experienced soreness after an hour or two can now wear AirPods Pro comfortably all day.
Enhanced noise isolation for better ANC performance: A tighter seal means better passive isolation, which dramatically improves the effectiveness of Active Noise Cancellation. With more outside noise blocked, audio becomes richer and more immersive—whether listening to music, taking calls, or using Spatial Audio.
Users commonly report better bass response, more consistent mids and highs, and an overall clearer and more powerful soundstage because the seal remains stable.Two premium options for every listener
Comply offers two versions to suit different needs: $24.99 TrueGrip and $29.99 TrueGrip MAX. The MAX version offers enhanced durability and moisture resistance via a patented SmartSkin™ foam technology. Buy from Amazon for AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods Pro 1 & 2.
Both versions include three pairs of ear tips, a removal tool for easy installation, and are available in multiple colors depending on the AirPods Pro generation.Real-world performance: a meaningful upgrade
Users who switched from Apple’s silicone tips to Comply TrueGrip frequently report:
Better seal consistency and stronger ANC
Improved comfort with reduced pressure in the ear canal
More secure stability during activity
Better bass response and overall clarity
Zero slip or fall-out issues The simple swap that transforms AirPods Pro
If you love the AirPods Pro but wish they:
Stayed in securely
Felt better during long use
Blocked more outside noise
Delivered richer, more consistent sound
…then this is a small upgrade that delivers a big difference.
Improve your AirPods Pro experience today with Comply TrueGrip—premium memory foam ear tips engineered for superior fit, comfort, and immersive listening.
Wear your AirPods every day, comfortably and confidently.
