MATTHIJS DE LIGT’S head poured blood after he suffered a horror clash with Juventus team-mate Alex Sandro against Lyon.
And to make matters worse the Ligue 1 side scored when the defender was off the pitch receiving treatment.

De Ligt had red all over him and one social media user joked “he had more blood on him that Tyson Fury did”.
The gruesome cut came about when Sandro accidentally stamped on De Ligt while they defended a Lyon free-kick.
De Ligt, 20, left the field for treatment and to change his shirt.
That was when the hosts struck in their last-16 Champions League clash.
Lucas Tousart slotted the ball past ex-Arsenal man Wojciech Szczesny in the 31st minute.
But those watching at home were more concerned with the fate of De Ligt.
One said: “Meanwhile, in Juventus-Lyon, De Ligt has been turned into a character from a Tarantino movie.”
A fellow user wrote: “De Ligt head De Leak blood.”
One comment read: “De Ligt, oh f*** that looks nasty.”
And things did not get much better for him when he returned with protective headgear, which some likened to a certain contraceptive device.
One wrote: “De Ligt look like he got a condom on his head.”

A fellow user posted: “De Ligt is really wearing a condom on his head.”
Continuing the boxing theme, one said: “De Ligt down bleeding heavily from his head. Looks like Tyson Fury has been at him!”
While another account wrote: “Now Matthijs de Ligt looks like he’s behind the pizza counter at Asda ready to take your order for toppings.”
