| Reading time: 2 minutes
Marc-André ter Stegen was concerned with the performance of the 2-8 disgrace in the Champions League against FC Bayern. Now the goalkeeper repents in public. The broken court should meet in the club on Monday.
NNational goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has apologized to the fans of FC Barcelona after the clear 8-2 defeat against FC Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
“I’m really sorry about what happened yesterday,” wrote the 28-year-old professional footballer after the premier league on Twitter. “I’m disappointed. I don’t want to look for excuses – because there aren’t any. We definitely have to change something. “
Ter Stegen had conceded eight goals in a duel with his national team colleague Manuel Neuer and was eliminated with Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the premier class. Neuer then even expressed pity for the former Gladbacher. “Of course you wouldn’t wish that to any team-mate in the national team,” said the man from Munich, who has been number 1 in the DFB goal for years.
“Ter Stegen was massacred”
The six years younger Ter Stegen actually wanted to use the direct comparison to score against Neuer. That failed completely. With some goals conceded, the keeper didn’t look good.
The local press took Ter Stegen to court accordingly. “Ter Stegen was massacred by the ambitious Bavarians” was the verdict of “Marca” – while “El Mundo Deportivo” said: “It was the worst first half that Ter Stegen can remember.”
The changes requested by Ter Stegen could be made very quickly. Like the radio station RAC1 reported, President Josep Maria Bartomeu has already scheduled an extraordinary meeting for this Monday. “We have to make decisions”, Bartomeu had announced: “We have already made some, we will be thinking about others in the next few days.”
First and foremost, coach Quique Setién is likely to fall victim to the broken court. He only took up his post in January, but is already publicly expecting his replacement: “Of course, the chances for me are minimized.”
