Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko is well known for his extreme workouts and his incredible physic that keeps him at the top of his game.

The latest example of it is the way he got stomped on the stomach several times by his workout partner Luan Aguirre Elas, a half Chilean/half Brazilian pro fighter, coach and bodyguard. The amount of punishment Cheuko receives is astonishing. “The work continues.” wrote Cheuko on Instagram.

Since Messi arrived at the MLS and signed with Inter Miami, he has caused a huge stir wherever he goes, with huge crowds filling the stadiums as they look to get a closer look at the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner.

In light of this, Inter Miami has taken extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of the former FC Barcelona player, as during the games of the Argentina national team, Cheuko can be seen on the field keeping an eye on La Pulga, mainly trying to prevent any fan who jumps on the field from approaching him.

Although it was initially reported that he was a Navy Seal veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the truth is that this was later proven to be false. However, Cheuko reportedly practices mixed martial arts at a professional level.

His most recent video went viral, and in it he shows off his great skill and enormous musculature, confirming that he is an imposing figure who has become Messi’s shadow since his arrival in the United States.

Cheuko is in charge of guarding Messi on match days, waiting for him at the exit of the bus when Inter Miami travels to matches.
