Lionel Messi has been a center of attraction ever since his move to the Major League Soccer (MLS) side Inter Miami. The 36-year-old veteran has been in exceptional form for the club both scoring and assisting consistently. However, with recent injury problems, the Argentinian missed some of the matches for the MLS side.
Lionel Messi returned to the action in Inter Miami’s latest match against FC Cincinnati. The veteran did start on the bench but later came on as a substitute during the game. Inter Miami went on to lose the match by a scoreline of 0-1.
However, this time it’s the Argentinian’s bodyguard who has hit the headlines. A fan of Messi was seen invading the pitch and running toward the player after the match. Leo’s bodyguard Yassine Chueko was seen taking immediate action. Yassine did the unthinkable after almost running the young fan’s day.
