Inter Miami face New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer action, and all eyes are on Lionel Messi. It’s been a difficult week for Lionel Messi. This past Wednesday, Inter Miami suffered a tough loss to Vancouver Whitecaps that led to their elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals.

When Messi arrived in the United States, Inter Miami hired a personal bodyguard for its captain. Yassine Cheuko went viral for his constant shadowing of Messi on and off the field, as well as the speed at which he ran onto the field to stop the threat of pitch invaders.
