Gruesome injury leaves Barcelona player needing TEN stitches on face as Flick gives update

Barcelona’s teenage defender Pau Cubarsi had to have a whopping TEN stitches in his face after his side’s Champions League victory.

The 17-year-old started Barca’s eventual 5-2 victory over Serbian side Red Star Belgrade, but had to be taken off with just over 20 minutes to go.

Red Star player Uros Spajic was booked for a high challenge on the youngster, with his boot hitting Cubarsi in the face as the Barca starlet stooped to head the ball.

Cubarsi immediately needed medical attention.

He was then withdrawn from the pitch and replaced by Sergi Dominguez.

After the game, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick confirmed the youngster was okay, but had required numerous stitches to patch up the damage to his face.

“Pau Cubarsi is fine,” he said in his post-match interview.

“But he will have ten stitches on his face.”

Pictures of the 17-year-old after the stitches then emerged on social media.

The teenager was smiling as his gruesome scars were shown.

He even put his thumbs up for good measure.

Cubarsi has taken to men’s football like a duck to water, and has already made 40 appearances for Barca since his debut in January.

He’s bagged two assists in that time and has been a regular feature in Barca’s back line.

The teenager has been with the LaLiga giants since 2018, when he joined at the age of 11 from Girona.

Now, he’s helped Barca to sit sixth in the Champions League league phrase and top of La Liga.

The Barca teenager wasn’t the only one that drew blood on Wednesday.

Arsenal’s Kai Havertz was also left with a bloody face after a nasty collision in his side’s 1-0 loss to Inter Milan.
