It was an excited Ter Stegen that went to share his thoughts. First, the 28-year-old goalie spoke about his happiness following his return to the field.

The Barcelona keeper then spoke about the team’s performance. He reckons that his side controlled the fixture in the first half while losing all sense of control in the second. Despite the slip in the second half, Ter Stegen loved the team’s shape and the way they won.

“We controlled the game in the first-half, but later on we lost control.”

However, he still considered that the last part of the second half wasn’t good enough as the Culés suffered. Still, the German is ecstatic following the important victory in the Champions League. After all, starting with nine points out of nine possible is excellent for any side.

“The most important thing today was the win. I’m very happy with the win and my return.”
