Barcelona’s teenage defender Pau Cubarsi had to have a whopping TEN stitches in his face after his side’s Champions League victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Cubarsi immediately needed medical attention.<\/p>\n

He was then withdrawn from the pitch and replaced by Sergi Dominguez.<\/p>\n

After the game,\u00a0Barcelona\u00a0manager Hansi Flick confirmed the youngster was okay, but had required numerous stitches to patch up the damage to his face.<\/p>\n

“Pau Cubarsi is fine,” he said in his post-match interview.<\/p>\n

“But he will have ten stitches on his face.”<\/p>\n

Pictures of the 17-year-old after the stitches then emerged on social media.<\/p>\n

\n

The teenager was smiling as his gruesome scars were shown.<\/p>\n

He even put his thumbs up for good measure.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

He’s bagged two assists in that time and has been a regular feature in Barca’s back line.<\/p>\n

The teenager has been with the LaLiga giants since 2018, when he joined at the age of 11 from Girona.<\/p>\n

Now, he’s helped Barca to sit sixth in the Champions League league phrase and top of La Liga.<\/p>\n

The Barca teenager wasn’t the only one that drew blood on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Arsenal’s Kai Havertz was also left with a\u00a0bloody face\u00a0after a nasty collision in his side’s 1-0 loss to Inter Milan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
