Terrifying pictures from the FC Barcelona match. The players turned their heads
Pau Cubarsi suffered a serious injury during the match Red Star – FC Barcelona. The Spanish defender was hit in the face with studs from a speeding opponent.
A terrible situation occurred in the second half of Wednesday’s match in Belgrade. The guests had no problem defeating rivals ranked lower in the European hierarchy. However, the Red Star team cannot be denied a lack of ambition. Unfortunately, this also resulted in sharp plays bordering on brutal fouls.
Pau Cubarsi with a terrible injury. An FC Barcelona player was hit in the face
However, there was a lot of randomness in the situation in which Uros Spajić, the defender of Red Star, fouled his younger opponent from Barcelona. The Serb certainly didn’t want to hurt his opponent. However, Pau Cubarsi suffered from a blow he received directly in the face. The footballer wanted to kick the ball by lowering his head low and at the same moment Spajić appeared with the intention of kicking the ball. This couldn’t end well.
Ultimately, the Barca defender had to leave the field prematurely, and the Serb was punished with a yellow card. The Spaniard’s face was covered with blood, his teammates immediately called medical services, some of them even had to turn their heads away from the whole incident.
After the match, photos of a smiling player with a severely injured face appeared on social media. It ended, among other things, ten stitches, Cubarsi will most likely wear a special mask during both training and matches in the near future. Fortunately, it was good that it ended with stitches and not, for example, with a Barcelona player being hit directly in the eye.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 140 goals in the Champions League, while Lionel Messi scored 129. Lewandowski is currently in third place with 99 goals. Behind him, the top five are rounded out by Karim Benzema – 90, and Raul – 71 goals.
