Lionel Messi’s Bodyguard Gets Outsmarted Again As Young Kid Invades the Pitch During Sporting KC vs Inter Miami

Lionel Messi was surely in for an eventful night at the Arrowhead Stadium. The Inter Miami skipper put in an absolute showcase in front of the away fans this weekend helping his side pick up a 3-2 win. While fans were in for a treat, the Argentine made things special for one little fan. The second half of the game saw a young fan storm to the pitch in an attempt to get a picture with the Argentine. While La Pulga’s bodyguard tried to stop the kid, Lionel Messi allowed the kid to get close and take a picture. Talk about special!

While this surely showcases La Pulga’s humbleness, it raises questions about his security detail. This isn’t the first time a fan has invaded the pitch this season to get a photograph with the Inter Miami skipper. The same incident happened just seven days ago when a young fan rushed to the field during Miami’s game against Colorado Rapids. While the situation was resolved immediately, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. It will be important to see how Lionel Messi’s security personnel react to these incidents, with the detail likely to increase assigned personnel after the recent lapse of judgments.

The game has to be special in many regards with Miami heading into the game with a heart-wrenching defeat against Monterrey. However, La Pulga did not disappoint his fans on this occasion as he helped his side bag the win despite going down early in the game. The Argentine superstar scored an absolute screamer in the second half to level things up, with Luis Suarez providing the team with the winner a few minutes later.

Lionel Messi steals the show with an outrageous goal

You just can’t keep Lionel Messi away from the action! The Inter Miami skipper turned back the clock on his opponents earlier tonight as he found the back of the net with a banger outside the box. The 51st minute of the match against Sporting KC saw La Pulga provide this team with a much-needed advantage. La Pulga was floating around the box when he received a great pass from David Ruiz. The Argentine made most of the opportunity as he dribbled a few steps before smashing the ball past Tim Melia much to the delight of the fans.

The win over Sporting KC sees Inter Miami climb to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. Lionel Messi’s side now has 15 points to their name from 9 games and could be in for a record-breaking season if they can maintain this form throughout the season. The Herons following their win over Sporting KC will now travel back home as they prepare to host Nashville in 7 days. Do you think Inter Miami can make it to the MLS Playoffs?
