Raphael Varane has revealed he played in some of the biggest matches of his career while suffering the effects of concussion - and withdrew from a Manchester United game this season with similar symptoms.
The French defender, 30, told L'Equipe that he played in his country's 2014 World Cup quarter-final defeat to Germany after taking a blow to the head, which left him with 'eye fatigue'.
Varane also blamed his horror show in Real Madrid's 2019-20 Champions League last-16, second leg loss to Manchester City on concussion, admitting he 'felt like a spectator'.
