Neuer said it was not easy for Ter Stegen after being broken into by the opposing team eight times, although he stressed that the result had nothing to do with Stegen’s position in the German national team.
“I feel a little sorry for Marc. I know things like this are not easy for a goalkeeper, ” Neuer quoted Sky Sport as saying.
“But we play the Champions League and this has nothing to do with the national team.”
“Obviously it’s a good result for us, but you don’t want your national team-mates to have something like that,” added Neuer.
