Argentine star Lionel Messi was rescued on Sunday night when an overenthusiastic fan ran onto the field to get up close and personal with the Inter Miami forward.

Yassine Chueko, the man who has been making headlines lately for following Lionel Messi’s every move while pacing back and forth on the sideline, came to the Argentine star’s rescue.

The incident took place in the second half at BMO Stadium when a spectator rushed onto the field and ran straight for Messi.

Messi’s bodyguard jumped to his defense, so he was only able to hold the player for a short period of time.
