Barcelona eventually won 2-1, with Luis Suarez netting a brace, but it is the injury of Messi that remains a huge concern for the Blaugrana manager.
The club has issued a statement: “Messi has a torn lateral collateral ligament in his left knee. He’ll be out for approximately seven to eight weeks.”
The week has gone from bad to worse for Barcelona.
On Wednesday, they lost their 100% record, after losing out 4-1 against Celta Vigo at the Estadio de Balaidos.
Issues like Neymar facing allegations of tax evasion also grabbed the headlines.
