    Barcelona get the three points, but how important was that save by Marc Andre ter Stegen near the end?

    Best chance of the half - by a considerable distance.

    Jaume Costa is left unmarked at the far post and sends a powerful volley towards goal, but Marc Andre ter Stegen sticks out a right hand to deny the full-back.

    The save earns him an enormous hug from Gerard Pique. A crucial stop.
