Lionel Messi, the world-renowned football player, has become the subject of viral internet attention, but this time it's not just about his skills on the field. His bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, has gained significant online recognition for his swift and professional protection of Messi.
A video of Chueko, a former US Navy SEAL, showcased his quick responses to protect Messi from overly enthusiastic fans. The clip went viral on Reddit, receiving over 175,000 upvotes, with many social media users praising Chueko's calm yet effective demeanor.
One user commented, "Messi is one of the most famous people on the planet, so that number of psychos is as big as it could possibly be for a human being. People way less famous than Messi have been hurt or killed by random people."
Another user noted, "This dude sprints at full speed, and then he just calmly hugs the people running towards him and walks them away from him. I bet this person is expensive as hell, but worth every penny."
Chueko's background as a Navy SEAL, with service in Iraq and Afghanistan, equips him with the skills necessary to protect someone as high-profile as Messi. His role includes not just guarding Messi during games but also accompanying him on public outings and family events.
Inter Miami club president David Beckham personally recommended Chueko for the position. On the pitch, Chueko runs around the field to intercept any potential threats to Messi, ensuring his safety at all times.
In addition to his professional duties, Chueko maintains a significant presence on social media, with 768,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares videos of his boxing and martial arts training.

Bengaluru/Vijayanagara, Nov 26: Karnataka Congress MLA H R Gaviyappa on Tuesday urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drop some poll guarantees, citing lack of funds, which drew sharp response from Deputy CM D K Shivakumar.
The ruling party MLA from Vijayanagara suggested that the election guarantees have made it difficult to provide houses to the poor in the state.
“Because of guarantee schemes, there is difficulty in providing houses to poor. We are also asking the Chief Minister to drop two or three schemes, which are not needed. Let’s see what the Chief Minister says,” Gaviyappa said in a public meeting in Vijayanagara.
He, however, maintained that he would stand by the decision taken by the Chief Minister.

According to the Congress MLA, the CM raised Rs 40,000 crore this year keeping development in mind.
The legislator's statement irked Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar.
“This is Congress party. I am going to issue him a showcause notice. He can’t do that. No question of closing any guarantee. We have committed to the people of Karnataka. No one can raise their voice (against the guarantees),” the Deputy CM, who is also the Congress state president told media in Bengaluru.
He said a Congress MLA cannot speak against the guarantees.
Those who are ineligible will not get the benefit, Shivakumar said adding the same policy has been adopted in the recent revision of BPL cards.
The Karnataka government has decided to remove the government employees and income tax payees from the list of BPL card holders as per the Central government norms.
