Messi bangs face on turf, left bleeding after challenge with Pjanic

Lionel Messi might be from another planet, but he bleeds just like anyone from Earth.

In the second leg of the tie between Barcelona and Juventus at the Camp Nou, Messi leaped into an aerial challenge with Miralem Pjanic and banged his face on the turf, leaving the Argentinian genius bleeding from below his left eye.

The collision triggered a response from Neymar, who rushed in and flattened Pjanic, resulting in a yellow card that means the Brazilian phenom will miss the first leg of the semi-finals if Barcelona miraculous overturns a three-goal deficit in the second half.
