Lionel Messi is left bewildered as Inter Miami fan storms the field to snatch a selfie before young girl is snatched by hoard of security – including star’s ex-Navy SEAL bodyguard – during his dazzling return from injury in 2-2 tie

Lionel Messi was left stumped by an encounter with a pitch invader on Saturday night, when a young woman approached the Inter Miami star for a selfie before security rushed to intervene.

With the Herons and Colorado Rapids in second-half stoppage time of their eventual 2-2 tie, the girl somehow made her way to Messi on the field, put her arm around him, and held out her smartphone to him to take a photo. photo.

Hordes of security, including Messi’s personal bodyguard, former US Navy SEAL Yassine Chueko, quickly whisked away the girl.

Chueko follows Messi while he is on the pitch, running back and forth with the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Playing for the first time since March 13 due to a hamstring injury, Messi came off the bench in the second half and scored the equalizer.

He coolly connected with a David Ruiz cross in the 60th minute with his favorite left foot to give Miami a 2-1 lead.

However, the Rapids would salvage a point when Cole Bassett scored in the 88th minute.

While injured, Messi missed three league games and also missed the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal against Monterrey on Wednesday.

Messi’s former Barça teammates and friends Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba also started the game on the bench before coming on for the second half, while Luis Suarez was an unused substitute.

Miami is now winless in its last four games in all competitions.
