One Reddit user commented on the necessity of such protection, stating, “If a lot of people know you, a lot of psychos know you too. Eventually, it’s just not worth the risk to let people touch you. Messi is one of the most famous people on the planet, so that number of psychos is as big as it could possibly be for a human being. People way less famous than Messi have been hurt or killed by random people who think the world is flat and famous people are all lizards.”

Chueko’s impressive background includes service as a US Navy SEAL, with deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was hired to protect Messi on the recommendation of Inter Miami club president David Beckham. Part of Chueko’s duties involves running around the pitch during games to intercept potential pitch invaders aiming to approach Messi.

I bet this person is expensive as hell, but worth every penny,” Another user added, “You can tell he is not the one you should test. His demeanour is calm but strong. Yet he is very fast; his acceleration when running is linebacker-esque, and it looks like he could take out a few attackers at once. I wouldn’t test that guy,”
