A source confirmed to ESPN that the suspended individual is Lionel Messi's bodyguard Yassine Cheuko. "After the July 30 Inter Miami CF vs. Club Atlas match, a member of Inter Miami's club delegation displayed improper conduct by entering restricted areas without an official event credential," the disciplinary committee announced in a news release. "In accordance with the Leagues Cup 2025 Tournament Regulations, the Disciplinary Committee has suspended the individual involved from all technical areas for the remainder of Leagues Cup 2025 and issued an undisclosed fine to Inter Miami CF." The bodyguard entered the pitch after the match to break up a discussion between players from both teams, making contact with individuals from Atlas. Cheuko was previously banned by Inter Miami from being on the sidelines during Major League Soccer matches, though he remained part of the club's security detail.
