Keen observers may have noticed Yassine Chueko frequently by Messi’s side since the soccer star’s shift to Inter Miami.

Chueko’s presence became evident when he intervened to stop a child who intruded onto the pitch during a game.

Additionally, he’s regularly seen accompanying Messi from the team hotel. Chueko’s prominence has surged to the extent that Messi’s teammate Robert Taylor even dressed as him for Halloween.

Recently, Chueko appeared in a viral video featuring Messi interacting with kids at a park. Despite Messi’s casual demeanor, Chueko kept a watchful eye on the proceedings.

This prompted fans to humorously question how Messi’s apparent guardian could seemingly appear out of thin air, marveling at Chueko’s exceptional dedication.

Chueko, a former US Navy Seal who served in Iraq, boasts a significant following on Instagram, showcasing his Mixed Martial Arts skills.

Allegedly recommended by David Beckham himself, Chueko leads a team of 50 individuals tasked with ensuring Messi’s safety at all times.

His social media presence has drawn attention from notable figures like Messi and Sergio Ramos.
