Lionel Messi is undoubtedly one of the most important players in the history of soccer and for many he already occupies a place on the Mount Olympus of this sport alongside names like Pelé and Maradona. The Argentine star has won everything in his career and that is why, in 2023, he made the decision to come to soccer in the United States to sign for Inter Miami, a club that convinced him not to accept the offers Messi had in Saudi Arabia.

Finally, Lionel Messi decided to move with his family to the city of Miami, where he now leads a much quieter lifestyle than he used to have in Europe. In that sense, it is now more and more common to see him in the streets and interacting with fans, although on the field the situation is somewhat different, as the Argentinean has a bodyguard who follows him closely during Inter Miami games to prevent fans attending the stadium from approaching the Argentinean.

On more than one occasion Messi's bodyguard has been seen preventing fans jumping onto the pitch from approaching the Argentine star. But it seems that even the most professional make mistakes, as during Inter Miami's last MLS game against Colorado Rapids, a young fan managed to get on the field with her cell phone to take a video with the Argentine legend and Messi's bodyguard didn't even notice.

Through a video that has gone viral on social networks, you can see how the girl enters the field to take a selfie with Lionel Messi, who was confused by the action of not seeing his bodyguard. However, in the end it did not happen and the Argentine did turn to the camera to give a unique moment to the fan who was visibly excited.
