"Those few seconds being hugged and photographed by Leo Messi (Lionel Messi's nickname) were the best moments of my life. Afterwards, he said, 'Run, run fast, before the security catch you,'" Antonella Siegert shared with the media.
Antonella Siegert shared a selfie with Messi with the Argentinian press.
Television footage also showed Antonella Siegert somehow running onto the pitch, calling out, "Leo, Leo," before reaching Messi, putting her arm around the star player, and taking a picture with her phone. Messi, after a moment of surprise at the unexpected situation, also put his arm around Antonella Siegert for the photo.
The Argentinian star then pulled Antonella Siegert in another direction to avoid security personnel as he ran onto the field to stop the incident. However, despite Messi's help, the young Venezuelan woman was quickly apprehended by security and escorted off the field.
The incident occurred in the final minutes of Inter Miami's 2-2 draw against Colorado Rapids at their home arena, Chase, in the MLS on April 7th. This somewhat affected Messi and his teammates, who were focused on scoring a winning goal at home. On the sidelines, coach Tata Martino expressed his disappointment upon witnessing the event.

"After being escorted off the field, young Antonella Siegert was allowed to go home without any punishment. She also became famous on social media for showing her great love for her idol," reported TNT Sports (Argentina).
Since coming to play in the US, especially in Miami, a city with a large South American and Argentinian community, Messi has become an idol, with many children and teenagers being huge fans of the star player. As a result, there have been numerous instances of young boys and girls trying to run onto the field to meet their idol.
In the US, Messi has also often been seen using a personal bodyguard, a former US Navy SEAL named Yassine Chueko, who is always by his side to prevent any unpleasant incidents. Besides security concerns, Inter Miami FC worries that too many fans running onto the pitch to take photos with Messi could disrupt and affect the match.
