Lionel Messi's bodyguard and fan invader

On Sunday, during Inter Miami's 3-1 victory over Sporting San Miguelito from Panama, a fan wearing a Messi No. 10 jersey ran onto the pitch. The supporter charged out of the stands, attempting to reach former Barcelona and PSG star Lionel Messi. 

Messi's bodyguard, who was patrolling one side of the pitch, quickly pursued the invader, but unfortunately, while trying to intercept the invader, he stumbled and fell after losing his footing due to the fan’s sudden movement.

The incident allowed the invader a brief moment to hug Messi before Chueko leaped back to his feet and dragged him away in support of the security guard.

Yassine Chueko is the bodyguard of Lionel Messi and a former US Navy SEAL who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is also a martial arts, boxing, and taekwondo expert and has also participated in MMA fights. Chueko was reportedly specifically brought on board by Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham to protect their star player.
