MLS Bans Messi’s Bodyguard from Pitch After Multiple Fan Invasions
Yassine Cheuko, the bodyguard to Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi, recently shared that he’s no longer able to assist the star in the same way he did before due to restrictions imposed by Major League Soccer (MLS).
Cheuko, a former Navy SEAL, has been guarding Messi since his move to the U.S. in 2023, with security concerns being a priority for the soccer legend. Cheuko became a familiar figure at MLS matches, often stepping in to stop pitch-invading fans trying to get closer to Messi. On several occasions, he’s tackled fans before they could reach the field.
However, MLS has now limited Cheuko’s role, banning him from stepping onto the pitch during games. Instead, he’s restricted to behind-the-scenes security duties. Cheuko expressed his frustration during an interview with House of Highlights, stating, “They don’t allow me to be on the field anymore.”
Reflecting on the unique challenges in the U.S., Cheuko said, “In Europe, I worked for seven years in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six fans ever invaded the pitch. But here in the U.S., in just 20 months, 16 fans have breached the field. There’s a real issue here. I’m not the problem. Let me do my job and protect Messi.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
