Who is Lionel Messi’s bodyguard?

Lionel Messi’s bodyguard at Inter Miami is named Yassine Cheuko and he is an expert in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). At first, many rumors pointed out Cheuko was a former soldier of the United States with experience in the US Navy performing missions at Iraq and Afghanistan. That wasn’t true.

The bodyguard has over 300 000 followers in his Instagram account, including Leo himself, and it serves to showcase some of his experiences fighting and training all around the world.

Furthermore, it has been noticed that Yassine Cheuko is not an intrusive person in his work and has dedicated himself to keep Messi safe without interfering too much in his movements. This dynamic is both inside and outside the stadiums and has been applauded in his inner circle.

His portfolio of clients reportedly include Antonela and Elena Galera, spouse of Sergio Busquets. With his club still in the offseason, Messi has recently hit Contreras’ ‘Glute Lab’ but for a different workout.

On her Instagram story posted on Monday morning, Antonela captured his husband doing pull-ups wearing a dip belt with a weight in between his legs. “Chin ups,” she wrote, tagging both Leo and Contreras.

A challenging 2024 for Messi, Miami

Messi’s huge impact off the field since he moved to South Florida wasn’t exactly a surprise, as he’s without any doubt the best player to set foot in the US. But he also managed to leave his mark on the field.

The 8th Ballon d’Or winner led the franchise to its first ever success at the 2023 Leagues Cup, which gave the Herons access to more competitions in 2024. Next year, Inter Miami will compete in the Concachampions and Copa Interamericana.

But of course, the MLS season will also mean a huge challenge for Messi and company, as the club failed to make the playoffs in 2023. Therefore, the Argentine star aims to go further in the next campaign.

“Like I said at the beginning, I never doubted that we were going to enjoy our time here, and now I have no doubt that next year is going to be even better,” Messi said before his team’s last game in 2023, a friendly against New York City. “We are going to keep enjoying, keep winning titles and I hope you can support us like you have since I arrived. It has been amazing and next year we have important tournaments to face together.“

Messi could get more help

While Inter Miami already surrounded Messi with big names like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, the front office is expected to get even more help for the No. 10 in 2024.

Luis Suarez runs out of contract at Gremio, and all signs point to the Uruguayan star reuniting with Messi in Miami. The 36-year-old is a close friend of Leo, and this could be the perfect opportunity to spend their sunset years together.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has made an impact both on and off the field in South Florida. While the Herons won their first ever title in the Leagues Cup, ticket and jersey sales went through the roof as well as the team’s social media followers.

This is what the Englishman had envisioned for a long time until he finally found the opportunity to get Messi to South Beach this summer. Of course, they got to know each other better since then.

What Beckham thinks about Antonela after getting to know Messi better in Miami

In an appearance on the “Stick to Football” podcast, Becks had nothing but praise for Messi and his family. He emphasized Leo’s humility and described Antonela as an “amazing” person, just like their kids.

“He is very humble. In Miami in particular, he is someone who is never left alone and is followed everywhere. There are hundreds of people following him every day in training,” Beckham said. “Since he came to Miami, he has been going to the supermarket by himself, shopping, and coming home and people are shocked by that, but this is his nature. He is humble and hardworking. He has an amazing family. His wife is amazing and the kids are amazing. In short, he is an ordinary person with incredible talent.”

How many goals has Messi scored for Inter Miami?

Lionel Messi has so far scored 11 goals in 12 appearances for Inter Miami. 10 of them were in the Leagues Cup, while his lone MLS goal to date came against New York Red Bulls.

After a nagging injury picked up during World Cup qualifying the World Cup winner has been absent from his club’s last three games. Messi watched in street clothes as his team gave up 18 shots to one in the first half.

Messi was accompanied by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and his three sons, but Antonela held a baby girl in her arms during the pregame, the young girl had a Inter Miami jersey that had Messi’s number and the word “Papi” on the back, it caused a bit of a stir on social media as Messi is the father of three sons.

Antonela Roccuzzo held the daughter of Jordi Alba whose name is Bruna, she is three years old, and she went to the game with her mother Romarey Ventura. Alba is also injured and missed the US Open Cup final.

In an interview on Olga, Messi confessed that he and his wife are looking to add a fourth Messi child to the family, they are hoping for a daughter. Messi and Roccuzzo have three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro.

Messi’s dog Hulk

Sadly the Messi family is preparing for life without the family dog Hulk, Messi also told the podcast Olga that his Bordeaux Mastiff is suffering from health issues. Given the age and the health issues Bordeaux Mastiff have at the tail end of their lives, Messi made the decision to keep the dog in the family home in Barcelona with vet and staff care, Messi stated that he and the family see the dog every chance they get.

“The rivalry with Messi? I don’t see things that way. It was a good rivalry. The rivalry is over. If you love Cristiano, you don’t have to hate Messi or vice versa. We are two good, or very good players (laughs). Both of us changed the history of soccer. We are respected worldwide, that’s the most important thing. He is making his own path and I am making mine. And the legacy continues.”

Now, in another chapter of this surprising new phase, Antonela Roccuzzo and Georgina Rodriguez, Messi’s wife and Cristiano’s partner, also bonded in a never before seen situation.

Georgina Rodriguez had an incredible gesture with Antonela Roccuzzo

Antonela Roccuzzo appeared at an event for Tiffany in which she wore amazing pieces of jewelry designed by Jean Schlumberger. “Very happy to be part of Tiffany’s family. Thank you for such an incredible event”.

In the post published on her official Instagram account, Lionel Messi’s wife is seen with a spectacular dress and the collection provided by Tiffany. The images have almost three million likes.

Though a lot of celebrities praised Antonela Roccuzzo, Georgina Rodriguez surprised everyone with a very special message accompanied by the heart emoji. “Beautiful.”

So, on and off the field, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have forgotten their rivalry. Maybe a possible friendship between the couples is on the making. Time will tell.

Since becoming a player for Inter Miami, every step that Leo Messi takes in the US is closely followed by Cheuko. The former U.S. Navy soldier and expert in Mixed Martial Arts has also been seen taking care of Antonela Roccuzzo, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro when they go out on the streets.

A spokesperson for the US Navy emphasized that they have been unable to find any record of Yassine Cheuko, while Christophe Freisenbruch, a former SEAL who heads a medical military technology company, made a LinkedIn post in which he discussed Cheuko’s background.

“Karma has a curious way of finding you when you’re publicly announced as an ex-SEAL, but you never graduated from BUD/S or earned the Trident. This is either a media misattribution or outright fraud. #stolenvalor,” he wrote.

Another SEAL veteran, who preferred to remain anonymous, told the Daily Mail, “I’ve never heard of him. A former colleague has a database and he told me he’s not a Team Guy (SEAL).”

Yassine Cheuko and Inter Miami have not commented on this story, which has emerged in the media. The Authentic Brands Group, the representatives of David Beckham, have also not made any comments regarding this matter.
