Cheuko followed Messi to MLS in 2023 and was often seen patrolling the sidelines, keeping overenthusiastic fans away from the Argentine superstar. However, he has reportedly been banned from pitchside duties since the early stages of Messi’s Inter Miami career.
Despite that, Cheuko remains close to Messi and his family, frequently expressing his loyalty even challenging YouTuber and WWE star Logan Paul to a fight after the latter jokingly called out Messi in a staged boxing proposal.
This time, Cheuko’s focus was on football. Teaming up with YouTuber and freestyler Jeremy Lynch, he produced a remarkable right-footed strike that flew into the top corner before ripping off his shirt in celebration.
