Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has been banned from entering the pitch in Monterrey, Mexico, on April 10, 2024, for Inter Miami’s CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals against Monterrey at 03:30.
The Inter Miami side are heading into the game after losing to Monterrey 2-1 in the United States. It was a game Lionel Messi failed to play due to his injury.
Despite not being in the game, Lionel Messi had an altercation with Monterrey assistant manager Nico Sanchez after the Inter Miami player voiced his displeasure with the officiating. The referee in charge of the match issued six yellow cards and one red card during the game.
Sanchez referred to Lionel Messi as a possessed dwarf who has the face of a devil in a leaked audio after Lionel Messi was allegedly accused of putting his fist on the Monterrey assistant manager’s face.
After the comment was made by Sanchez, he proceeded to apologize to Lionel Messi and Inter Miami manager Tata Martino. However, that doesn’t stop the tension from resurfacing again when both teams play.
