Messi's longtime bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has apparently been banned from running on the field during Inter Miami games, and the soccer superstar isn't

Inter Miami is on the road vs. Los Angeles FC for the first of two Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal matches. What to know.

Lionel Messi's bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has been banned from protecting the Argentine forward from the touchline during Inter Miami matches.

Miami will travel to Los Angeles for the first leg of the quarterfinals, with four MLS teams vying to break Mexico's streak

Seeking its third trip to a Champions Cup final, LAFC hosts its star-laden MLS counterpart in the first leg of their quarterfinal clash Wednesday night at BMO Stadium.

There will be a notable absence on the touchline of Inter Miami's MLS matches from now on, not a player or coach, but Lionel Messi's famous bodyguard.

The CONCACAF Champions Cup tournament has reached the quarterfinals, and Wednesday night will see LAFC and Inter Miami face off for Leg 1 of the competition (they’ll play again next Wednesday too). Whichever team wins the two clashes will face either the Vancouver Whitecaps FC or Pumas UNAM in the semis.

All eyes are on Lionel Messi as Inter Miami travel to Los Angeles to take on LAFC in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals.

Any time a Miami team faces an L.A. team, it is bound to be a glitzy affair with celebrity spectators, and this one is no exception. The sport’s biggest star, Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi, draws crowds wherever he goes.
