In the 32nd minute of the match against Villarreal, Alaba tried to tackle Gerard Moreno, but his left knee made a bad gesture and he lost stability, remaining lying on the field of play. Two minutes later, the Austrian was substituted and left the field with obvious signs of concern and without being able to support his left leg.
