Porto's Nicolás Otamendi Suffered Friendly Fire To The Face In Today's Europa League Match

If the first leg of the Porto-Manchester City Europa League round featured insult, then it figures the return trip to Manchester would feature injury—and this is a nasty one. Porto defender Nicolás Otamendi took a boot to the face in what appears to be a lost cause, as an early (first minute!) Man City goal by Sergio Aguero and three more in the second half put the Portuguese side down 6-1 aggregate.

Otamendi, somehow, managed to walk off the pitch under his own power. [GolTV]
