Antoine Griezmann may have thought the worst for a moment in his Barça debut against Chelsea. Jorginho, one of the English side's more aggresive players, caught the forward on the knee with his studs and many immediately feared the worst.

Griezmann spent a few minutes on the floor being attended to by the medical staff. When he realised that he was able to move his knee freely, the fear quickly subsided. However, the mark is still there for all to see as a reminder of his first minutes as a Barça man.

 

The striker had actually dropped back into midfield when he suffered the injury.
