Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen commented on the Catalans' sending off in the first round of the Spanish league against Getafe (0-0).
"We spent too much time in the minority. The situation with Rafinha is a clear red card. Such things have no place at the matches of our football club. As for the rest, we played a good game.
"Getafe is a difficult opponent at home because they defend very well. It's always uncomfortable to play against them, although they didn't pose much of a threat at our goal. We had one or two very good chances, but we couldn't take advantage of them," the Barca press service quoted the German goalkeeper as saying.
It will be recalled that in the 42nd minute of the match, referee Cesar Soto Grado showed a straight red card to Rafinha for elbowing an opponent.
