Since its posting three days ago, this post has garnered over 174,000 upvotes and continues to attract more. It has also received numerous comments.

Reactions from People

An individual wrote, “I would assume the bodyguard is under the same rules as the general stadium security (because they probably have an agreement, and the bodyguard in the video responds to situations that would normally be handled by stadium security i.e pitch invasions). A pitch invasion is also a reason for stopping the game while they get whoever it is off the pitch, so quite often you’ll see games pause while this is dealt with.”

Another shared, “He’s got to be in pretty good shape as well. I’d be in no position to protect anyone after a 40-yard sprint.”

“What I like is how relaxed and calm Messi remains when he sees someone coming towards him. Like he knows his personal T-800 is close by. Seems like a lot of trust there,” commented a third.
