📸 Gruesome! Barcelona star shows shocking war wounds 🤕 | OneFootball

Nobody can ever accuse Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí of not putting his body on the line for the cause.

He certainly did just that in Wednesday night's win over Red Star Belgrade in Serbia.

But in putting himself in where it hurts, the youngster received some incredibly worrying battle scars - requiring 10 stitches after a kick to the head.

"They stitched him up and he'll be fine," his coach Hansi Flick said afterwards in a reassuring update.

Nonetheless, a nasty and scary situation.
