Brazilian club Fluminense and Argentine club Argentinos Juniors met last Tuesday at the Diego Maradona Stadium in Buenos Aires. The audience witnessed this tragic event in this match. The players of both teams left the field with a 1-1 draw. 35-year-old Marcelo was trying to pass the ball at the end of the 56th minute of the match. But Sanchez raised his left leg while tackling the ball. At that time, Marcelo’s foot fell on the 29-year-old player of the opposing team. Everyone in the stand was immediately shocked. Marcelo knelt at his teammate’s feet and cried. Even when seeing a red card, he left the field with tears in his eyes.

Marcelo burst into tears during this incident. After the match, he wrote on social media, “I had a very difficult time on the field today. I have tragically injured a footballer without any intention. I wish him a speedy recovery. May all the power of the world help him.” Luciano Sanchez’s left knee ligament has completely ruptured. He will undergo emergency surgery. But it is not sure whether he will be able to get back on the field after recovering. However, the doctor said that Sanchez will recover within 8-12 months. The Argentine club thanked Marcelo for his tweet, “Thank you, Marcelo. In the field, we are opponents, not enemies.”
