Lionel Messi's bodyguard is FINALLY beaten after being floored by a pitch-invading fan... with the supporter managing to hug the Argentina icon before being escorted off the pitch Lionel Messi's bodyguard Yassine Chueko was finally beaten by a pitch-invading fan on Sunday after taking a tumble in an effort to stop the supporter from reaching him.
Chueko, a former US soldier, has previously gone viral for protecting Messi from fans during the Inter Miami star's matches, stalking the touchline during Major League Soccer games.
The bodyguard, who came to Miami from Paris after protecting Messi at PSG, was called into action in April last year after spotting a fan running from behind one of the goals towards the football legend.
The decision to hire Chueko came amid a rising number of pitch invaders in recent years, while Messi attracted an unbelievable amount of hype and attention with his move to Miami in 2023.
The incident allowed him a brief moment to hug Messi before Chueko leapt back to his feet and ripped him away, appearing to smile subtly at his unfortunate tumble.
