Lionel Messi’s Bodyguard Banned from MLS Matches
Lionel Messi's personal bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, has been banned from attending Major League Soccer (MLS) matches. The decision came after Cheuko was involved in multiple altercations with fans and opposing players during games. This move has sparked a significant debate within the football community about the role and conduct of personal security for athletes.
The ban was confirmed by multiple sources, including The Sun and Azerbaycan24, which reported that the MLS took action following several incidents where Cheuko's behavior was deemed inappropriate. The bodyguard, known for his close protection of Messi since the star's move to Inter Miami, has been a controversial figure, often seen intervening aggressively in situations involving the Argentine player.
This development raises questions about the balance between player safety and the enforcement of league conduct policies. While Messi's safety is paramount, the ban highlights the challenges of managing personal security in a professional sports environment. The MLS has yet to comment officially on the duration of the ban or the specific incidents leading to it.
