The only huge fuck up in this match, his injury.

As terrible as this guy usually used to be, Inaki Pena will most likely not be any better - in fact he can only be worse than Ter Stegen. And we can't get a 3rd guy until January, at least.

The positive thing here is we might finally get a top GK in January, but we are probably fucked until then.

Barcelona will be FAR better off long term.

Although there might be a pain period until January or summer and that is only because Pena is a himself a poor keeper.

Sometimes the ugly way ends up being the best thing for the club. They were never going to sell him because he is a darling of the management and no top club would ever buy him. He also has a contract until 2028 so either Barca was going to endure these amateur mistakes (that were 100x amplified in the CL) for another 4 years AT LEAST as this guy played the politics game at the club and made sure no decent back-up keeper could be on the bench at this club.

The ugly way was the only way he was going out and now the club will be forced to act.

I'm delighted Barca will be moving forward.

37 isn't too old at all for a GK. He's much of a safer choice than a younger unproven keeper. It's pretty much the age of Robert Lewandonkey.
Keylor is exactly the type of keeper we don't need. Being a shorter keeper, he relied on his athleticisim/agility/acrobatic ability when he was younger. Now he is useless.

Do LL rules allow teams to sign players outside of transfer window in case of serious injuries?

Yes.
But iirc, and I hope someone fact check this, it can't be from Liga clubs, after the Braithwaite deal. It might be only about release clause though.
