Tough red but Marcelo didn’t exactly avoid the obvious collision
He’s mid turn, that foot is coming only where it came down. At game speed it’s all one fluid motion. Absolutely nothing he could have done

Defender wasn’t close on the tackle and he can only really blame himself

Injury was worse than I thought. Complete knee dislocation. One of the worst injuries in all of sport (obviously). The location of the neurovascular bundle behind the knee means 25% have a popliteal artery injury and 25% have a peroneal nerve injury (and potentially permanent foot drop).

Also the fact that it looks so bad in the X-ray is horrific because it means the team’s medical crew didn’t reduce the dislocation, which is needed ASAP to reduce the risk of neurovascular compromise.
