The Real Madrid legend inadvertently stepped down on Sanchez's shin while trying to dribble the ball past him, and the defender was left screaming in agony after the challenge. The match was halted as Argentinos' medical staff attempted to treat Sanchez on the pitch before he was eventually carried off on a stretcher, and the referee showed Marcelo a red card. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Marcelo could not hold back his tears as he walked towards the tunnel, and players from both teams consoled the distraught wing-back.
After the match, Marcelo took to social media to wish Sanchez a speedy recovery. He wrote: "Today I have had to live through a very difficult moment on the pitch. I have inadvertently injured a colleague. I want to wish you the best possible recovery, Luciano Sánchez. All the strength in the world!"
