Villarreal are sitting in sixth spot in the La Liga standings, with little hope of making it to the Champions League and barely holding on to a Europa League qualifying spot as well. The stretch run is going to be crucial to those hopes, but they also took a major blow this weekend.

That’s because star Argentinian, and summer transfer target for many EPL clubs, defender Mateo Musacchio’s promising career took a dark turn this weekend. As he went to go for a 50/50 ball, Musacchio’s ankle turned…o.k., more like went 90 degrees to the ground.

WARNING: This isn’t for the weak of stomach and is simply one of the most gruesome injuries we’ve seen on the pitch.
