After Getting Outsmarted by Young Girl, Lionel Messi’s Bodyguard Tightens Security for Inter Miami vs. Monterrey

On his return to the pitch, Lionel Messi dazzled the fans with a great goal against Colorado Rapids. But the soccer icon also contributed to the ‘best day‘ of a pitch invader’s life. During the game, a young girl by the name of Antonella Siegert invaded the pitch and even got a selfie with the Argentine moment. The wholesome moment made its way to social media. However, it seems Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, does not want a repeat of the incident in the upcoming game against Monterrey.

Footage has emerged on X, where Yassine Chueko is inspecting fences in the stadium. In the clip, he is in conversation with another official, and it seems like they are discussing potential entry points for pitch invaders. With Antonella Siegert escaping his eagle eyes, it seems Chueko is taking extra precautions this time around.

Antonella Siegert, who interestingly shares the same name as Lionel Messi’s partner, took to Instagram to explain her daring adventure. Through her Instagram account @antonella.soccer, uploaded a video of the same with the caption, “Without a doubt the best day of my life! The day I could fulfill my dream, the day where many things happened so that everything could be achieved.”

The incident came in the extra time of the match as Inter Miami was desperately searching for a winner. Hence, Lionel Messi’s willingness to take a selfie at such a heated moment shows his regard for the supporters. Siegert took note of the same and said, “Thank you @leomessi for being so humble and agreeing to make this moment come true!” However, that wasn’t all Messi did for the young girl. He even helped her run away from security.

In the video shared by Antonella on Instagram, Lionel Messi can be heard saying, “Run, run quickly, before security catches you.” Unfortunately, before Antonella could do so, a flurry of security guards, including Yassine Chueko came and apprehended the teenager. Yet, in the video, the Argentine playmaker was seen helping the girl escape without getting hurt. An act of kindness from one soccer star to another. Yes, Antonella Siegert is a soccer player herself!
