Lionel Messi found himself in a situation where he needed to hire a personal bodyguard, not due to immediate danger but because the chaos surrounding his arrival meant a constant influx of people around the former Barcelona star.

 

Accepting the reality of his situation, Messi turned to Yassine Chueko, a former MMA fighter, to ensure his personal security.

Chueko, with an impressive display of talent in the ring, now works diligently to protect Lionel Messi. He goes above and beyond his duties, watching over Messi on game days, especially when Inter Miami travels to matches.

 

One instance of his importance was evident during an Inter Miami vs. LAFC match when a pitch invader attempted to approach Messi. Chueko swiftly sprinted towards the incident and intercepted the intruder, putting him in a headlock.

 

While this incident was undoubtedly painful for the intruder, Chueko has demonstrated his brutal power in a particular MMA fight, where he knocked out a Thai fighter with a devastating combination, showcasing his remarkable hand-speed and fighting skills.

 

After such a display, it’s likely that people will think twice before attempting to get too close to Messi.
