“He seemed to crawl from the ground to be behind Messi ,” one account shared. Besides, some other fans also praised Yassine.

However, just a second later, this guy appeared behind Messi

Yassine is a bodyguard hired by Inter Miami Club specifically for Messi, and is said to pocket a salary of about 3 million USD (73 billion VND). Yassine proves herself worthy of this coveted compensation. Every time Messi goes out, Yassine follows his shadow and “saves” the Argentinian superstar many times from aggressive athletes.

According to some sources, Yassine is a former soldier who once competed in mixed martial arts (MMA). However, Yassine only protected Messi when the 36-year-old superstar was in America. This guy will not follow if Messi returns to Argentina to play in a series of international matches.

Yassine repeatedly protected Messi from aggressive fans

On November 22, Messi played his last match of 2023 when he and Argentina defeated Brazil 1-0 right on the opponent’s field. Messi will return to America and start a vacation with his family. However, according to Messi, the family’s travel plans were shortened because the children were busy with school.
