Specifically, during the flight from the France Football awards ceremony, Messi awarded Cheuko the title of “Ballon d’Or for the Best Bodyguard.” Sharing about this moment, Cheuko said: “Messi doesn’t just see me as a bodyguard but also as a friend. We talk, joke around, and get to know each other’s personalities. He always invites me to lunch and treats me very well.

When he won the Ballon d’Or, we were on the plane, and he told me, ‘Yassine, hold the Ballon d’Or!’ and I replied, ‘Okay…’ Initially, I thought he wanted me to take it somewhere else.”

The bodyguard added: “And when I held it, he told his son and wife, ‘The winner of the Ballon d’Or for the best bodyguard is Yassine.’ It was a beautiful moment and words I will never forget from the best player in the world.

I feel like I’m part of his family, and I’m doing my best to protect him not just physically but also psychologically, because he trusts and depends on me a lot, and I focus all my attention on him. He is very humble.”
