Lionel Messi's Bodyguard gains viral fame for quick interventions to protect Messi
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.

Lebanon appoints new representative for talks with Israel, rejects linkage to Iran
Beirut: Lebanon’s has moved to underline its independent position in ongoing regional developments, amid attempts to link the country to the broader conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
President Joseph Aoun, while announcing the appointment of former US ambassador Simon Karam as Lebanon’s representative in talks with Israel, made it clear that Karam would be the sole representative for Lebanon and that there would be no substitute.
The move comes in response to what the Lebanese officials see as efforts by Iran to tie Lebanon’s situation to the wider regional conflict. Iran had indicated that there would be no ceasefire involving the US, Israel and Iran unless it also included a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Some groups, including Hezbollah and its supporters, had expressed support for linking the situations, citing concerns that the Lebanese government has limited leverage in negotiations with Israel. Lebanon is not formally a party to the conflict, and its army is considered weak.
However, others, including Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, have opposed this approach. They view Iran’s stance as an attempt to influence Lebanon’s internal affairs and see it as undermining the country’s sovereignty.
Officials backing the government’s position say the move is aimed at reaffirming Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensuring that decisions about peace and ceasefire within the country are not dictated externally.
They also see it as a safeguard, so that any breakdown in talks between the US, Israel and Iran does not automatically lead to renewed conflict in Lebanon.
