Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hit in an unfortunate place during training
Gabonese striker did not get much sympathy from his team-mates after painful blow
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG'S preparations to face Real Madrid hit a speed bump as he suffered every footballer's worst nightmare in training.
The Gabon striker took a ball to the testicles from Andre Schurrle which sent him to the turf as his team-mate howled with laughter.
Aubameyang, 28, saw the funny side and shared the joke with his pals ahead of their Champions League crunch.
The in-form hitman has bagged eight league goals in just six games this season - highlighting why he has caught the eye of Chelsea and Liverpool.
And he is setting his sights on Bayern Munich legend Gerd Muller's incredible 40-goal Bundesliga goalscoring record.
The France-born goalscorer - who scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 rout of Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday - said: "We will see.
"I have a lot of faith in myself, but that record commands respect.
"What Muller accomplished is extraordinary. Forty goals - wow!
"To set a mark like that, you have to work very hard and a lot.
"But if I look at my games, I see the possibility to get even more goals."
Dortmund face Los Blancos tomorrow hoping to improve on their 3-1 defeat against Tottenham at Wembley.
