BARCELONA, Spain -- Goalkeeper Victor Valdes may have played his last game for Barcelona after tearing a right knee ligament during Wednesdays league win over Celta Vigo at Camp Nou. Barcelona said the injury will require surgery, which would likely rule him out for the rest of the season. The 32-year-old Valdes has said he will leave Barcelona after this season when his contract expires. "This is painful news and is too high a price to pay for these three points," said Barcelona sports director Andoni Zubizarreta. Valdes right knee buckled when he came down after jumping to block a routine free kick. He managed to gather in the ball but then fell to the turf and called to be substituted. The Spanish international was carried to a cart and then shuttled off the pitch with his gloved hands covering his face. Backup Jose Pinto took his place in the 22nd minute with Barcelona leading 1-0. Barcelona went on to win 3-0 with two goals by Neymar and one by Lionel Messi. Valdes was taken to a hospital for tests that determined the severity of his injury. Valdes has played a crucial role in Barcelonas rise to the top of European football over the past decade. In his 12 seasons with Barcelonas first team, Valdes has won three Champions League crowns, six Spanish leagues, and two Copa del Rey titles, among various other trophies. Valdes was also expected to compete with Iker Casillas for the starting job for Spain at this summers World Cup. Barcelona is trying to defend its Spanish league title. It has also reached the final of the Copa del Rey and the quarterfinals of the Champions League. It will now have to rely on the 38-year-old Pinto as it reaches the final stretch of the campaign. Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino said that the club would not look to make an emergency move to replace Valdes, meaning the young and untested Oier Olazabal will serve as Pintos backup. "We wont sign a goalkeeper. We will finish the season with this group," Martino said. "I am not one to believe in bad luck, but at this stage of the season I thought everything that was to happen had already occurred. I was wrong. Its a big blow but this team has rolled with punches for some time now and we will pull through this." Pinto has played 15 games this season, with a record of 12 wins, one draw and two losses. He had played in the Copa del Rey and for Valdes in the league and Champions League when he was injured for eighth games earlier this season. Pinto gave his team, and the Camp Nou crowd, another scare in the second half when he slid into the goalframe, hitting his left knee on the upright. But after a brief spell gathering himself on the ground he was able to continue. The veteran made four noteworthy saves to keep a clean sheet for the hosts.

Gerry Cheevers Jersey . -- Canadian womens amateur golf champion Brooke Henderson is a little less starstruck as she prepares for her second career appearance at an LPGA Tour major event.9. Sandy Lyle, 1988 “Shades of Sandy Lyle” has become a traditional Masters phrase describing any shot that slowly trickles back to the pin in the 18th green. It recalls the feat of this great Scot, who famously rolled this bunker shot back towards the flag. He holed the 6-foot putt to seal the tournament. 8. Jack Nicklaus, 1975 With six Green Jackets to his name, The Golden Bear has a rich history of great Masters moments. But this one stands above the rest: Nicklaus draining a 40-foot uphill putt is what made him the very definition of clutch. 7. Gene Sarazen, 1935 Wed love to show you the double eagle that has often been called the greatest shot in golf history, but sadly video replay just wasnt a going concern back in the 1930s. What we do have, however, is this clip of Sarazen recounting his famed "The Shot Heard Round the World," and recalling the moment that playing partner Walter Hagen pressured Sarazen to grab a club and hit it, on account that he didnt want to be late for a post-round dinner date. 6. Louis Oosthuizen, 2012 An astounding 253 yards from the pin, the South African air-mailed a double eagle into the Masters history books. And the most amazing part? He tossed the ball into the crowd. 5. Bubba Watson, 2012 In the quest for his 2012 Green Jacket, Bubba Watson was forced to take one of the tournaments greatest risks, boldly attempting tthis hook shot from behind two trees and a TV tower.dddddddddddd In the annals of guts and glory, youll find a clip of this shot. 4. Phil Mickelson, 2010 Face to face with a tree on the par five 13th hole, Lefty summoned his greatest Masters moment, a breathtaking six-iron stroke that he landed just feet from the green. The next five holes were no sweat, as Phil clinched his third career Green Jacket, elevating himself into the realm of true golf icons. 3. Vijay Singh, 2009 Okay, this one didnt happen in officially sanctioned play, but its so impressive, we had to include it. Its Vijay Singh in a practice round before the 2009 tournament. The Masters champ casually strides up to the ball and skips it along the water, up onto the green and into the cup for a hole in one. The reaction is simply priceless. 2. Larry Mize, 1987 The Masters only hometown champion pulled off golfs most famous pre-Tiger chip in a 1987 sudden death playoff with the legendary Greg Norman. Standing 120 feet from the hole, Mize drains it, and when the visor flies off during his celebration, this shot was officially written into the history books. 1. Tiger Woods, 2005 This sublime Masters memory hardly needs an introduction. Its Tiger in absolute peak form, bending the laws of physics to hole this unforgettable chip. Its arguably the most famous shot of Tigers career. ' ' '
