Messi’s bodyguard reacted extremely quickly when a fan rushed onto the field. What was his next action that earned him so much praise?

Many fans praised Messi’s bodyguard after he helped a fan have a memorable moment.

On October 8, Lionel Messi returned from injury and played 35 minutes for Inter Miami in the match against Cincinnati FC in the American Professional League (MLS).

After the competition ended, Messi walked around the field to thank the home fans who were present to watch. At this time, a young fan suddenly ran into the field, towards the Argentine superstar.

Immediately, Yassine Chueko – a bodyguard hired specifically for Messi – was present to stop the fan. However, perhaps after realizing this was just a boy and there was no risk, Yassine decided to take the boy to meet his idol Messi. Here, the boy took a photo with Messi and had his shirt signed by the 36-year-old superstar.
