Fermin Lopez suffered a gruesome facial injury in the first half of Barcelona's Champions League tie with Atletico. He was already playing with a headband, after needing stitches in a wound following a collision in training, when he was hit full in the face by goalkeeper Juan Musso's boot.
Marc Casado, the 22-year-old midfielder, has struggled for regular minutes at FC Barcelona, leading to speculation about his departure in the upcoming summer transfer window.
I've watched the 6-1 game [against PSG] many times, I saw it live. Neymar has been a huge part of my childhood, he's my idol and I'll always be grateful for what he's given to football. He inspires us all. You pay for a ticket to see him and two or three days after the match you'd watch it again just to see his plays. I want to thank him for everything he's given to football and I hope he can be at the World Cup.
