Lionel Messi’s bodyguard grabs young fan before he gets to Inter Miami star but then leads him over for selfie
Lionel Messi's bodyguard was on hand once again to protect the superstar Inter Miami forward.
The bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, is often seen prowling the touchline at matches, ready to pounce if any supporter tries to get to Messi.
Following their 1-0 defeat to Cincinnati, one young supporter raced onto the pitch in the hope of getting a selfie.
However, they were intercepted moments before being able to get to the 36-year-old.
Chueko started to lead away the young fan, before then leading him back to Messi to give him a moment he will never forget.
He had the opportunity to take a selfie with the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, who then signed his Inter Miami shirt, before then leaving the pitch again.
Chueko has been an internet sensation ever since Messi arrived in Miami.
According to Argentine newspaper La Nacion, Chueko is a former Navy Seal, though given the secretive nature of special forces it's unlikely to be confirmed, while his nationality is also unclear.
The match was Messi's first back in the Inter Miami side after a spell on the sidelines through injury.
However, he could not inspire the MLS team to the much needed victory that would have kept their season alive.
Messi's bodyguard is undefeated:
▪️ Makes the play on the pitch invader
▪️ Then gives him a memory for life
