Yassine Cheuko, Lionel Messi’s inseparable bodyguard at Inter Miami, has once again captured the attention of the football world—this time for a very different reason than usual. In recent hours, a video has gone viral showing him scoring an impressive volley goal during a practice session with the American team, a sequence that quickly spread across social media and once again put his story in the spotlight.

Far from being just another member of the security staff, Cheuko has become a recognized figure among the Herons’ fans and, above all, Messi’s followers. His presence at the edge of the field, closely following every move of the Argentine captain, has turned him into a character as striking as he is enigmatic within the MLS.

Born in France, Yassine served as a combatant in military operations in the Middle East before dedicating himself to the world of private security. With training in mixed martial arts (MMA), boxing, and taekwondo, he combined his military discipline with an athletic profile that he later brought to his new profession. His physique and experience made him the ideal candidate when the Florida team decided to reinforce the protection of the Rosario native after his arrival in the United States in 2023.

“The job isn’t just about guarding,” he explained some time ago, “I also apply what I learned in combat to prevent risky situations and anticipate movements.” Since then, his routine has become almost inseparable from Messi’s: he accompanies him to the locker room, supervises stadium access points, and monitors fans who try to get close to the Argentine star.

David Beckham himself, one of the heads of the Inter Miami project, was the one who promoted the personalized security model for Leo—unprecedented in North American football. Cheuko’s presence, running alongside the touchline at every match, has become an iconic image of this new era for the club.

Beyond his work with the captain of the Argentine national team, Cheuko has taken advantage of his exposure to develop his personal brand: he shares training routines, self-defense tips, and has even launched his own line of sportswear inspired by his time in the army and his life alongside football.

His story—between military discipline and proximity to the best player in the world—continues to spark curiosity on social media. And now, with a volley goal that has gone around the world, Messi’s bodyguard has once again shown that he can also surprise with his feet.
