Barca star finds his TOOTH on the pitch after losing it in battle with defender

BARCELONA star Dani Olmo lost his TOOTH after colliding with Real Betis defender Marc Bartra during a La Liga match on Saturday.

The 26-year-old was fouled by Bartra in the 30th minute at the Benito Villamarin Stadium.

After being tripped by the centre-back, Olmo fell to the ground, accidentally headbutting the back of his ankle on the way down.

He lost a tooth as a result and immediately started looking for it on the grass.

Fortunately, the Spaniard was able to find it relatively quickly.

Visibly frustrated, Olmo appeared to complain to the referee for a moment before continuing to play.

The match finished 2-2 after a dramatic late equalizer from Betis super-sub Assane Diao.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Barcelona just before half-time with a tap from the edge of the six-yard box.

Former Tottenham star Giovani Lo Celso then equalized from the penalty spot, but Ferran Torres restored the visitors' lead with just under 10 minutes to play.

In the closing stages of stoppage time, Diao equalized with a stunning kick into the bottom left corner.
