(Reuters) -Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed Wojciech Szczesny will keep the goalkeeper's gloves for both Tuesday's Champions League clash and the "El Clasico" against Real Madrid, despite Marc-Andre ter Stegen's solid performance in Saturday's 2-1 win at relegated Real Valladolid.

The win extended Barcelona's lead at the top of LaLiga after second-half strikes from Raphinha and Fermin Lopez overturned the hosts' advantage, with Ter Stegen in fine form after a seven-month absence.
