German keeping legend Kahn defends Barcelona's Ter Stegen
Former German international
goalkeeper Oliver Kahn defended his compatriot Marc-Andre Ter Stegen for
conceding a goal from over 60 yards that held his team to a 1-1 draw
against AS Roma in a Champions League match.
Roma's midfielder Alessandro Florenzi caught Ter Stegen
out of his position with an audacious but accurate long-range shot from over 60
yards at the Stadio Olimpico here on Wednesday.
Barcelona were leading 1-0 at the time through a Luis
Suarez headed strike in the 21st minute.
But 10 minutes later, Florenzi beat Ter Stegen with the
stunning strike.
Roma managed to contain the potent Barcelona offence and
bravely held on for a draw.
"If you're asking me if it was a mistake of the
goalkeeper, I think it was not," Kahn told Sky TV Channel, when asked if
Ter Stegen could have done anything to stop the goal.
Kahn also said that Ter Stegen should close the page on
what has happened and to keep to his own style.
