The former Barcelona captain, Messi, played a significant role in leading the Herons to a 3-2 away win over Sporting Kansas City in front of a record-breaking crowd of 72,610 fans. He assisted Diego Gomez’s equalizer in the 18th minute and then put his team ahead in the 51st minute with an impressive strike from outside the box.
As the game neared its conclusion, a fan wearing the Florida-based team’s colors ran onto the field to take a photo with Messi. This prompted Yassine Chueko, Messi’s bodyguard, to swiftly intervene by grabbing and restraining the fan.
A video capturing Chueko’s quick response has been shared on social media, highlighting his remarkable speed and agility. It has been revealed that Messi’s bodyguard is a former United States Army soldier who reportedly served as a navy seal in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
