New Delhi, Feb 1 (IANS) Padma Shri Awardee Pramod Bhagat and World No 4 Sukant Kadam were in Paris to witness a Lionel Messi-starrer PSG game. This was the first time both Pramod and Sukant were watching a football game in a stadium outside India.Unfortunately, the team they were supporting lost in penalty shootout and was knocked out of Coupe de France against Nice late on Monday."It was my first time watching a football match in a stadium outside India and the atmosphere was unreal. I have seen football on TV but watching it live in a stadium is just an experience one should not miss."With Messi being my favourite footballer, I got an opportunity to watch him play live. Even though they lost, I am sure he and the team will bounce back," an excited Pramod Bahgat told IANS over the phone.Commenting on the same, Sukant Kadam said, "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch Lionel Messi play. The atmosphere was unbelievable. I have never experienced anything like that. Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka made some incredible saves which helped them win the match."Both Pramod and Sukant are currently training for the Spanish Para-Badminton International which will begin in the 2nd week of March 2022.
