Lionel Messi's bodyguard is speaking out in concern after he was banned from working on the sidelines of Inter Miami's field, despite fans frequently trying to jump on the pitch and meet the star.

Lionel Messi has sent fans into a frenzy by showing off a new hairstyle during Inter Miami's 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. The Argentina international scored his side's second goal of the game as they kept their place at the top of the MLS table.

LAFC made the Champions Cup finals in 2020 and 2023 and beat the Columbus Crew 4–2 on aggregate in the Round of 16 last month. Denis Bouanga, the MLS Golden Boot winner in 2023 and co-runner-up with Messi and Luis Suarez last season, scored three of L.A.’s four goals against the Crew.
