Lionel Messi's famous personal bodyguard made his epic return to the Inter Miami star's side in the team's friendly against the Salvadoran national team.
Last season, bodyguard Yassine Chueko became famous after fans noticed him patrolling the sidelines during one of Messi's first games after moving to Miami, trying to follow the star during the game.
It was later revealed that Chueko was a former US soldier and MMA fighter who was personally hand-picked by David Beckham to protect Messi.
Chueko was finally called into action one day when a young fan stormed the pitch to take a photo before being stopped by the famous bodyguard. However, Messi still allowed the child to take the photo.
Although the 0-0 friendly went without a hitch, the services of Chueko and other security guards were definitely in demand by Inter Miami on Friday night.

Tickets for the game ranged from $200 to $400 and may have exceeded that amount at third-party retailers.
The Estadio Cuscatlan in San Salvador seats 53,400 fans and chances are every seat in the stadium will be sold out to cheer on the Miami wizard.
When Chueko finally arrived at the stadium for the game, he was seen walking with Messi as the star player got off the bus and waved to the masses of fans who lined up outside the building, leaving the Argentine no more than an arm's reach away.
The hysteria before the game ultimately caused more excitement than the boring football display that took place on the pitch afterwards.
