Woman suffers broken arm after being struck by Messi's ferocious shot

The Villareal fan was in agony after receiving the blow.

HE MIGHT BE known for breaking goal-scoring records but Lionel Messi is apparently also breaking limbs these days too.

The Argentine maestro lined out for Barcelona in their 2-2 draw against Villareal on Sunday.

With the game not yet 15 minutes old, Messi launched a shot on goal from just outside the area but the fall flew high, wide and into the stands at Estadio El Madrigal.

The ball was struck with such ferocity that when it caught a female spectator on the arm, it reportedly caused a bone to break and the woman soon passed out from the pain as medics rushed to her aid.
