THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"It doesn't look good for Marc," Flick said after the game. "We have to wait to know the full diagnosis of the injury, but it's true it does appear to be really serious. This injury makes us sad. I think the injury will be huge, but we have to wait for information."</p>

WHAT FLICK SAID

<p>Barcelona's injury list is mounting, with Ter Stegen joining Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo on the sidelines.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?
