An incredible Lionel Messi bodyguard goal has gone viral as the Inter Miami star’s personal security man shared a video of his finishing abilities.
Cheuko posted the clip of his outside-the-box volley to his Instagram. We’re still trying to determine if the finish or the celebration is better.

Cheuko exploded in popularity when Inter Miami first signed Messi. The former fighter essentially became the Argentine’s shadow being seen closely monitoring Messi’s every move.
Fans then grew accustomed to seeing Cheuko following Messi on the pitch. The bodyguard stalked the sidelines of Inter Miami games and then burst into action when pitch invaders attempted to reach Messi.

Cheuko’s access to the field was stripped by Inter Miami in April of this year to the disappointment of fans and the bodyguard.
"They don't allow me to be on the field anymore," Cheuko said in an interview earlier this year.
“I came to the USA and in just 20 months, 16 people have already run on the field. There's a huge problem here. I'm not the problem. Let me help Messi."
Cheuko is still a member of Inter Miami’s security staff. It’s unclear if he will stay with the club after Messi leaves. The good news is that he clearly has the fall-back option of becoming a striker after the Miami gig concludes.
