It goes without saying that Lionel Messi is one of the most well-known people in the world, and his summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami has attracted a lot of attention to American football.
Messi’s presence has improved Inter Miami’s performance on the field, but since he joined the squad, both the team and the sport have seen significant growth in popularity.
Stadiums are filling up despite exorbitant ticket costs because fans are eager to witness the Greatest of All Time in action.
But because of all the attention on the Argentine, security must be on high alert at all times. As a result, Messi’s new bodyguard seems to be getting a lot of attention.
In order to deter others from approaching the 36-year-old Barcelona icon while he is on the field, Messi’s bodyguard has been seen walking around the sidelines of football fields.
Messi’s security follows him everywhere like a shadow before, during, and after football games to make sure the Argentine is not accosted by strangers, as can be seen in the video collection below.
