Once again, the Argentine sensation commanded the spotlight as a record-breaking crowd of 72,000 filled Arrowhead Stadium for the MLS event, with Super Bowl champion Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his spouse Brittany among the attendees.
Messi showcased his prowess by scoring one goal and assisting another as Inter Miami secured a 3-2 victory, with Luis Suarez delivering the decisive strike 19 minutes before the final whistle. Nevertheless, the match was intermittently disrupted by enthusiastic fans invading the pitch.
During one such incident, Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, who had previously worked with him at Paris Saint-Germain, sprinted across the field to intercept a supporter seeking a selfie before stadium security could intervene.
Elsewhere, stewards apprehended another intruding fan, while Messi warmly embraced a young admirer who seized the chance to get close to his idol. In a recent encounter between Inter Miami and the Colorado Rapids, a video surfaced of a pitch invader approaching Messi before Cheuko once again swiftly intervened.
