Villarreal winger Pino opens up about Ter Stegen injury: I couldn't contain my emotions

Pino, who suffered a similar injury last season, recounted: "I was caught up in the play and didn't mean to harm him on purpose. It was a chaotic moment and my emotions got the best of me - I couldn't help but burst into tears. I tried to push through the pain and continue playing, but the emotions were overwhelming."

Pino explained how he lived through the moment: "When he falls to the ground, he starts to get dizzy and complains about his back, nobody noticed the knee, but suddenly he looks at his knee and had the kneecap out.

"We then started asking for help, it was very difficult to see."

In an interview for DAZN, Pino also said: "I asked Robert (Lewandowski) how he was in the locker room and Pedri, Lamine and Ansu.  I told them to give him a lot of encouragement, I'm sorry if I could not be there, and I wish him a speedy recovery."
