Barcelona goalkeeper backs down striker with the ball, then clowns him

Rude.

For a moment in Barcelona's match against BATE Borisov, it looked like goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen was in trouble. He'd come out of his box and approached the touchline to rein in a long ball, but BATE striker Dmitri Mozolevski came charging up faster than expected to put pressure on Ter Stegen. Most goalkeepers would have panicked and done something silly there, quite probably winding up giving up a goal given how far he was from his net. Instead, he did this:

That’s just not fair. Goalkeepers shouldn’t be able to do things like that. How is Mozolevski ever supposed to live down being clowned like that? His great-great grandchildren will still be living with that shame.
