The images are chilling. During the Copa Libertadores match between his Brazilian team Fluminense and the Argentinian club Argentino Juniors, defender Marcelo seriously but unintentionally injured an opposing player.
As he tried to dribble, the 35-year-old former Real Madrid player crushed the leg of Luciano Sanchez, who found himself in a very bad position. The Argentinian would suffer from a total dislocation of the patella. Marcelo could not hold back his tears at the severity of the injury. The match ended with a score of 1-1.
