Horror in the Libertadores Cup, the legend of Real breaks the opponent’s leg
The Brazilian legend of Real Madrid, Marcelo, has become the protagonist for the bad in the valuable challenge for the Libertadores cup, as Fluminense played against Argentinos Juniors.
The left-back was executing a dribble that would have been fantastic for manual football, but ended up breaking the opponent’s leg.
In the 57th minute of the match, Marcelo stepped on the foot of 29-year-old Luciano Sanchez and immediately realized that the intervention was fatal, signaling for the game to be stopped.
After seeing the opponent’s leg in a miserable condition, Marcelo couldn’t hold back the tears, bursting into tears.
He was surrounded by worried players from both teams, while the referee issued the red card sending the Brazilian star off the field.
The challenge ended with the score 1-1. Local media after the challenge, citing doctors at the Sanatorio Finochietto hospital, estimated Sanchez’s recovery time between eight and 12 months.
Meanwhile, Marcelo wrote on social networks: “I lived a very difficult moment on the field today. I hurt a fellow footballer without any intention. I want to wish you the best possible recovery, Luciano Sanchez.”
Sanchez’s Argentine club responded yes with a post on social networks: “We are rivals, not enemies.”
