It could have been a clean sheet appearance for the Ter Stegen, but he could not withstand Martin Braithwaite who in the second half cancelled out Ousmane Dembele’s first-half marker.
Ter Stegen had arrived at Barcelona in the summer of 2014. He immediately did not become the goalkeeper until the following season as he usurped Claudio Bravo, with the German starting in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey during his debut campaign.
