Impact The German goalkeeper was making his first start since Sep. 22 and was unable to keep a clean sheet after being beaten in the opening minutes of the match, but it's hard to blame him for the goal since an unlucky bounce beat him.

However, ter Stegen's six saves were somewhat dampened by multiple goal concessions, something that had not occurred on his part since the 2024-25 La Liga began back in August.
