Marc-Andre Ter Stegen knows how it is to get criticized and has backed his former team-mate Claudio Bravo who got sent off the field due to a red card.

Barcelona won yesterday 4-0 against Manchester City. Barcelona got sent off the field, as he touched Suarez's ball out of his area with his hands.

Ter Stegen has been also criticized for his playing and told 'beIn Sport': "Bravo and I talked about other things, but in the end these are things that happen - that's life for the goalkeeper. This happens sometimes but [in the long term there is] no problems for him or for his team".

He added: "Until the red card we had problems. At first it was a very difficult match, but we were finally able to make a lot of goals. For us it was very good".
