Carles Puyol fell to the ground after a header and the full weight of his body struck on the elbow. The pain was so intense that he has to leave the game in the 74th minute.

Barcelona captain, who reappeared after a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee, suffered a dislocated elbow in the match against Getafe in the fourth game of the season.

It was during the Champions League match against Benfica.

Finally, the Barcelona surpassed by 2-0 to this Portuguese team.

Bad luck follows closely Puyol as he had recovered from his knee injury in record time; in the beginning there was speculation that would be four weeks and only needed two and a half weeks.
