Lionel Messi’s famous bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has been a busy man this season. Statistics aren’t recorded for bodyguards, but if they were Chueko would have as many tackles as a linebacker in the NFL.
With the exception of younger kids running out onto the field, the former fighter has been sprinting onto the field and decking uninvited guests all season.
Still, in nearly every MLS game involving Inter Miami a fan makes their way onto the field trying to get a selfie with Messi.
Cheuko is “kicking” up his training and trying to dissuade fans from being his next victim.

This guy is not messing around.
Cheuko will have quite the demo reel as a security guard after this season is over. When Messi retires, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Secret Service reach out for his services.
