Striker “Barcelona” Lionel Messi in the 44th minute of the return match of the 1/4 finals of the Champions League against Juventus in a clash with midfielder Miralem Panicum fell awkwardly to the turf.

When falling after a high jump, the Argentinian, who was hit the opponent, hit his head and shoulder on the ground.

In the end, Messi got a cut and bruise under her left eye. And, apparently, has avoided more serious injuries.

Referee Bjorn Kuipers did not punish the offender Messi, but showed a yellow card to Neymar, who harshly booked for a foul on Pjanić.
