Dortmund 0-0 Barcelona: 5 Things we learned from the match | UEFA Champions League 2019/2020

#2 Marc-Andre ter Stegen's heroics earns Barcelona an undeserved draw

Ter Stegen saved a penalty

Borussia Dortmund came into this fixture as the form side of the two, having lost just one of their seven competitive fixtures this season, while their opponents have blown hot and cold so far.

The difference in form was evident in the fixture, as despite the game not being as open as expected, Dortmund were still the superior side and found ways to carve chances for themselves for the entirety of the match.

However, they found a stumbling block in the form of Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, as the 27-year-old was in inspired form and virtually unbeatable on the day.

He showed great reflexes to keep out his friend and international colleague Marco Reus on three occasions, with one of those saves coming when he dived low to his left to keep out the Dortmund captain's penalty attempt to help Barcelona to a point which they scarcely deserved

Over the last few years, there have been calls for the Barcelona shotstopper to displace Manuel Neuer as the German No.1, and with the furore reaching a head in the past two days, Ter Stegen's performance against Dortmund in his homeland helped remind the German public as to why he is fully deserving of Neuer's number one spot.
