Marc-Andre ter Stegen says he ‘feels bad for Eric Garcia’ after Champions League red card for Barcelona

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen spoke out after seeing Eric Garcia sent off in Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Monaco after the game.

A poor pass out from Ter Stegen left Eric in trouble and saw the 23-year-old make a challenge that ended with him being given a straight red card after just 11 minutes.

To go a man down so early in the game proved influential in the game, and Ter Stegen said it was a misunderstanding between the two players.

“We didn’t understand each other well in that situation, I feel bad for Eric, it hurts him.
