This is yet another blow that Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona will have to endure. Traveling to Villarreal to keep their lead in the Championship this Sunday, to be followed live with commentary, the Blaugranas were ahead at half-time thanks to a double from Robert Lewandowski in the first half. But while the Yellow Submarine had come back to within a goal, Marc-André ter Stegen (32 years old) made a superb save in front of Nicolas Pepe. But on the following corner, the German goalkeeper was charged by several players and his knee quickly gave way as he fell.
A huge blow for the German goalkeeper, who came off crying and with his hands covering his face while he was carried off on a stretcher by the doctors of the Catalan club and was replaced by Inaki Pena in stoppage time of the first half. An injury that seems very serious while FC Barcelona must face an avalanche of injuries since he is the eighth player from the first team to join the infirmary.
