Young girl taking selfie with Messi suddenly becomes famous

The incident took place in the extra minutes of Inter Miami's 2-2 home draw with Colorado Rapids in the MLS on April 7. At that time, Messi was turning his back to command his teammates in an effort to find a goal to reverse the loss at home.

Messi protects young girl as security guards enter the field

Make sure the girl is safe before leaving the field

A young girl somehow ran down the field from the Colorado Rapids goal line wearing an Inter Miami shirt and easily approached Messi, put her arm around him and held out her phone to take a picture. While running down the field, the young girl also put her phone in video mode and recorded the whole incident.

Messi, after a moment of surprise and confusion, "cooperated" with this girl to take a selfie. The whole incident happened in less than a few dozen seconds. Outside the field, coach Tata Martino expressed his disappointment because this interrupted Inter Miami's efforts to find a goal to win the match.

Chase Stadium security personnel and Messi's personal bodyguard, Yassine Chueko (a former US Navy SEAL), then responded and were present on the field to escort the girl off the field.

Chueko has recently become famous for being Messi's personal bodyguard, running up and down the field following the Argentine star's performance to stop overzealous fans. If they are young or female fans, Chueko will let them take pictures with their idol before taking them back to the stands.

Messi (right) has only returned to competition since March 13.

Messi has just returned to play since March 13. He played in the second half of the match where Inter Miami tied Colorado Rapids 2-2, contributing 1 goal to equalize 1-1 and creating a situation to increase the score to 2-1. But at the end of the match, due to a mistake by Inter Miami's defense, the opponent equalized.

The draw means Inter Miami have yet to win in their last four games (2 draws, 2 losses). Messi's team has now dropped to third place in the 2024 MLS Eastern Conference standings with 12 points after eight games (3 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses).
