Bollywood actor Chunky Panday, his daughter Ananya and a few friends were among the 88,966-strong audience at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday night, witnessing the Argentina v Croatia semi-finals. And needless to say, they all came away thrilled thanks to some Messimerising action.

“This was my first ever international football match in a stadium and it was an exhilarating experience. Actually, Ananya has been invited here and I’m her plus one. But I now know why the FIFA World Cup is called the greatest show on earth,” Chunky told mid-day on Wednesday.
