On the wings of a masterful showing from Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Barcelona escaped Dortmund with a point against Borussia. It was another “less than ideal” away game for the Catalans, who still haven’t won away from home in three tries this season, as Borussia, and especially Marco Reus, will be kicking themselves for the missed opportunities.
With Lionel Messi still not fully fit, though able to make the bench for the first time this season, Ernesto Valverde sent out his arguably strongest lineup. Luis Suarez made his first start since the La Liga opener while youngster Ansu Fati made his second consecutive start, adding another record to his name as he became the youngest Barcelona debutant in the Champions League.
