The not very successful match of Madrid's "Real" team in the UEFA Champions League cost the fall of two players from the lineup.
This season, the Spanish capital club, suffering from injuries, had to make two substitutions during the match against "Club Brugge," which ended in a draw 2-2, after the first half.
Nacho, who played in the left-back position, was replaced by Marcelo on the field, and Thibaut Courtois in goal was replaced by Alphonse Areola. Initially, it seemed that at least one of these substitutions was made for tactical reasons, but after the match, a completely different situation emerged.
"Real" confirmed that both players left the stadium after the first half – Nacho went to the hospital, and T. Courtois returned home with the help of his relatives.
It was reported at midnight that Nacho suffered a knee ligament injury. The Spaniard will not need to undergo surgery, but he will likely have to miss about a month and a half of football.
Meanwhile, T. Courtois had intestinal problems during the match. It is said that the goalkeeper "caught" a virus and left the stadium only with the help of his relatives. The Belgian even burned several kilograms on the day of the match.
Courtois had to leave the stadium with his relative. He wasn't able to drive himself. Tibo lost more than a kilo today from the virus.
