The match between Inter Miami and Atlas ended in a brawl in which Lionel Messi once again became the main protagonist, not only because of his great performance, but also due to his actions after the game—and his bodyguard!
The incidents escalated when the Argentine star celebrated the winning goal right in Cóccaro’s face, while hugging Rodrigo de Paul.
Everything ignited at the final whistle, when Messi grabbed an Atlas player by the neck, which sparked the brawl.
Yassine Cheuko, Lio’s bodyguard, entered the field—even though it’s forbidden—and pushed the Atlas players who were on the pitch to prevent them from touching his protégé.
