Oh shit. Well that headline certainly found a way to undersell it while saying exactly what it was.

"Marcelo steps over the ball during skill, landing on a tackling opponent's lower leg and causing the opponents knee to bend in not the right direction."

But for real, that was a horrendous visual. I hope that he's able to make a full recovery after surgery and rehab. That's a career ending type of injury.

I thought "horrendous" was meant in the sense that it was going to be an awful, deliberate foul, not that the injury was horrendous. That was way worse than I was expecting.

And it didn't seem intentional at all. Just some of the worst luck I've ever seen.

Goddamn I was hoping the title was exaggerating

Yea, that doesn't bend like that.
