Lionel Messi was knocked to the ground by security during a friendly match in Puerto Rico. A shirt-less fan approached Messi near the end of Inter Miami's 2-1 win over Independiente del Valle.
The fan embraced Messi before a security guard intervened, pulling the invader down and inadvertently bringing Messi to the ground.
This incident occurred after Messi entered the match at halftime and scored the winning penalty in the 70th minute. He appeared unharmed. The game was originally scheduled for February 13 but was postponed due to a hamstring strain Messi suffered.
