Messi's bodyguard speaks out after MLS stadium ban

The decision to ban bodyguard Yassine Cheuko from MLS matches has created a huge controversy. Is Messi safe without his trusted companion?

Since the Argentine superstar joined Inter Miami in 2023, Cheuko has been in the US at the invitation of the club's president Beckham and has been on standby at the sidelines, ready to stop any fanatics who try to approach the Argentine superstar.

However, MLS has just banned him from following Messi on the field, only allowing him to appear in the locker room and mixed areas.

Reacting to this decision, Cheuko expressed his indignation when answering House of Highlights: "I worked in Europe for 7 years, from Ligue 1 to Champions League, and there were only 6 incidents of fans rushing onto the field. But in the US, in just 20 months, there were 16 incidents. This is a serious problem."

Despite the ban on his bodyguard, Messi is still fully focused on important matches. He recently returned from an adductor injury and immediately scored after only 2 minutes on the field in a 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union on March 29.
