Soccer has witnessed many bromances but the one that is between Messi and Rodrigo De Paul is very rare. Both share a close friendship in the Argentina national team. Interestingly, fans often refer to De Paul as Messi’s ‘bodyguard’. This nickname stems from the midfielder’s protective nature toward La Pulga. Especially when opponents attempt to provoke or antagonize the 35-year-old.
