There were moments of real concern during the Rennes vs. Villarreal football match when player Matteo Gabbia, on loan from Milan, had to be taken off the pitch on a stretcher with his head immobilised.

In an unforeseen incident, the promising 1999-born defender temporarily lost consciousness following an accidental knee strike from player Raul Albiol. Gabbia was quickly revived before being carried off the field, leading to a pause in the game, causing tense moments in the Europa League fixture.
