Lionel Messi‘s bodyguard showed off his own athleticism … barreling onto the field mid-game to take down a fan — and, it was all caught on video.
Messi’s Inter Miami CF took on Sporting KC in Arrowhead Stadium Saturday night when an overexcited fan tried to snap a pic with LM while the game was in progress.
Check out the clip … the fan comes running up to Messi while the ball’s actually in play — but Messi’s man, Yassine Cheuko, gets there just as quick and barely leaves enough time for the dude to snap a selfie before he’s thrown to the ground.
It’s a pretty regular occurrence for the soccer G.O.A.T. who has fans constantly running up and looking for a pic — and, apparently, it happened twice last night.
Earlier in the evening another fan … who looks pretty young from the pic — got escorted off the field by security, and there’s Yassine guiding him by the shoulder.
Messi’s team won 3-2 BTW … and, he even scored a goal — but, lots of people online are focusing on how fast Yassine is rather than how impressive Messi played.
BTW … Messi’s pretty nice about all the interruptions usually, allowing fans to take the pic before security drags them off.
Still … probably best not to run on the field and try to snap the pic at all — ’cause Yassine’s clearly ready to do his best American football impression on the pitch!!!
