Oh man, so Messi’s bodyguard legit went viral for that tackle! I saw the clip online and couldn’t stop replaying it. Apparently, at The Beautiful Game 2025 charity match in Miami, Steve Nash (he used to be a big NBA star) tackled the bodyguard Yassine Cheuko first. Nash was like goofing around and shielding the ball, but Cheuko didn’t take it lightly and just slid right into him from behind. The crowd was shocked, ’cause who expects a bodyguard to go full-on beast mode at a charity event with legends like Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos watching?

Personally, I think Cheuko just forgot it was for fun and his instincts kicked in. He’s probably so used to protecting Messi from fans and crazy situations, he sees everything as serious. I even joked with a friend that Cheuko thinks he’s the main character on the field! One of my buddies said maybe Cheuko wanted to remind everyone he means business, even when it’s supposed to be chill. Wild moment, honestly. Shows how being Messi’s bodyguard means you always gotta stay sharp, even at friendly games.
