Ter Stegen leaps to Ledesma's defence after German TV mock him

Goals are often published on social media not long after they go in by broadcasters and 'DAZN Germany' did precise that after Barcelona scored their fourth goal against Cadiz in Saturday's La Liga match. The goal came after the game had been halted for 55 minutes because of a medical emergency in the stands.

Ledesma could have done better in trying to stop Ousmane Dembele's strike, which ended up making it 0-4. However, 'DAZN' published a tweet showing the goal with a rather controversial caption: "POV: When your best friend is in the opposition goal", they wrote followed by a laughing emoji. 

Ter Stegen, Ledesma's opposite number, made his feelings clear: "Inappropiate and disrespectful. For the umpteenth time! Shame on you." The Barca goalkeeper was especially unhappy given that Ledesma had earlier rushed to the touchline to help get a defibrillator to the supporter who had suffered a heart attack quickly.

'DAZN' deleted the tweet and apologised. They claimed they were unaware there had been a medical emergency earlier. "We express our apologies for the inappropiate tweet on the match between Cadiz and Barca, which we have now deleted. We had only seen the goals and posted it and we weren't aware of the serious events which had already occurred in the game. We wish the person affected a speedy recovery."
