Ter Stegen had a night to forget in Monaco earlier this week as his faulty goalkeeping led to Barcelona losing 1-2 against the Ligue 1 giants in their Champions League opener. The German custodian received a lot of criticism after the match for letting his team down, but manager Flick came to his defence.

The 59-year-old heaped praise on Ter Stegen for his ability to play with the ball at his feet. He also mentioned that the goalkeeper will have clear instructions from him the next time the club take the field. While Flick has backed his player, it has to be noted that It was the Germany international's very poor ball through the middle of the field that caused Eric Garcia's 10th-minute red card.

Speaking to reporters, Flick said: "One of the strengths is being able to play with the ball at his feet, that's his style of play. He has admitted a mistake, but I make mistakes, you make mistakes, we all make mistakes, he's human. I hope that next time he has clear instructions, but for me it's water under the bridge."

Despite the setback in Europe, the Catalan giants continue to dominate La Liga having registered five consecutive wins at the start of the season. They will next face Villarreal on Sunday in a league clash.
