A video showing Lionel Messi‘s bodyguard seemingly appearing out of thin air has left football fans baffled.

The video shows a group of young fans waiting to meet Messi but the Inter Miami star’s bodyguard suddenly appears right behind him despite having not previously been in shot.

Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, is a trained MMA fighter and former Navy Seal.

In the clip Chueko makes sure that the children line up so that they can have a picture taken with Messi.

Fans on social media were taken aback by Chueko’s sudden appearance.

One wrote: ‘This man has more defensive mechanisms than the whole Chelsea backline’.

Another added: ‘This guy’s work rate is insane’.

In addition, another wrote: ‘I watched this 5 times and I still don’t see where he came from’.

Another fan stated that it looked like Chueko had teleported. They wrote: ‘Looks like he literally teleported. Was no where in the frame earlier’.

Meanwhile, another user added that Chueko is the ‘Greatest Bodyguard of all time’.

Another user wrote that Chueko ‘spawned out of Ajax’s league position’ in reference to the fact that the Dutch side are currently 12th in the table.

Chueko, who was personally selected by Inter Miami president David Beckham, has received much attention from the media in recent months.

He was even seen with Messi when the Argentina star was relaxing with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo in Florida.

Last month a young fan sprinted onto the pitch to try and get Messi’s autograph after a defeat to Cincinnati. Chueko stopped the young boy and then put his arm around him and led him over to Messi, who posed for a photograph and signed an autograph.
