0-0: TER STEGEN THE HERO AS BARCELONA SETTLE FOR A DRAW AT DORTMUND
Barcelona survived a second-half Borussia Dortmund onslaught to claim a point in Germany as Marco Reus’ penalty was saved by German keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Jadon Sancho won the penalty after being clipped by Nelson Semedo, but ter-Setegn read Reus’ penalty, saving superbly down low to his left.
Lionel Messi came on with 30 minutes to go but struggled to influence proceedings as Dortmund did everything but score – Reus missed again from close range and Julian Brandt rattled the crossbar yet it remained goalless, despite a late opportunity for Messi but his close range shot was blocked.
