Barcelona did incredibly well to prevent Liverpool from scoring an away goal in their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday evening, and Clement Lenglet was forced to suffer more than most as he lost a piece of his tooth.
The former Sevilla centre-half was entrusted with the task of keeping Mohamed Salah at bay for the entirety of the match, although it was a collision with the Egyptian which left the defender with the facial injury.
"I lost a bit of a tooth, but it's not serious, I'm happy to keep losing pieces on a regular basis if we continue to win," Lenglet explained in an interview with Radio Monte.
Salah had a few chances to keep Liverpool in the tie at the Camp Nou, particularly with an open net in the minutes immediately following Messi's free kick, but he couldn't find a way past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
"It was a difficult match, I had to adapt the distance I had to keep Salah at," he intimated.
"You can't leave space for him to play the ball, but at the same time you have to be close enough to make a challenge.
"These games are always difficult, but after the start I found it a bit easier to analyse how far I should keep my back to goal."
