Ter Stegen's awful performance

The recent fixture against AS Monaco was one of the worst fixtures for the German goalkeeper and Barca's captain, Ter Stegen. Committing a plethora of mistakes, Ter Stegen's display acted significantly in contrast to what had been expected from him. Starting with the early red card, which led the club to be reduced to 10 men, that too in the 10th minute of the fixture, to getting frozen by Akliouche's shot, which led to the first goal for Monaco, and much more, the UCL opener was a nightmare for the goalkeeper.
