For anyone wondering, the kid got banned from going back to the stadium as it’s illegal to run across

At least the kids get escorted off and not dragged like the older ones

Props to the bodyguard for catching that, not being harmful to the kid, and still letting him hug Messi. W mans right there

But Messi is great for going over and acknowledging the boy, these athletes have so much responsibility to respect their fans they are looking up to them, what an awesome reaction ❤

That is really scary, fans just don’t seem to be afraid to break the rules during a game just to run at Messi 😮 . Thank goodness Messi has the bodyguard who happens to be the GOAT!

Messi was not in any kind of danger whatsoever, it was a kid who wanted a picture with his Hero or someone who he admired. However, his bodyguard is absolutely amazing at his job, if you see when people ask for a picture with him, the bodyguard will gently stop people from actually touching him when they do or try to touch him, also, if you notice it, Messi doesn't touch any of the people either, he will put his hands behind the person but not touch, even more so when it is a female in the picture.

I wouldn’t exactly call this young boy a threat or dangerous. But I do understand the bodyguard has to serve and protect.

Not to mention he had the perfect interception angle
(Fancy terms for: he ran in the most efficient way

Nobody is that important no matter what you do or who you are.

He is a navy seal - he is not one to play with. He is lightning fast judging situations - lethal
priestofs

"From Danger" You Think A Little Kid Is Gonna Pull Out A Gun 💀

The way he flailed his arms to kick into first gear

"Danger"?? If you think a child fan that has the passion to run on a pitch like that then you're dangerous 😂😂 Messi's response was on point man
