If Xavi’s FC Barcelona has found its cruising speed and is having good results, everything is not yet perfect. There are some shortcomings in defense in particular, with opponents who manage to create danger quite easily in the Barcelona area. And behind it, it must be said that Marc-André ter Stegen is no longer really a guarantee of serenity or security.
Barça supporters, you have seen that MATS is much less agile on its line. Even if he released some well-made interventions against Elche on Sunday afternoon, he remained quite static on the goal of Fidel Chaves. Rarely really guilty on an opponent’s goal or author of blunders, the German struggles to be decisive on his line and regularly, he gives the impression of always being able to do better on the opponent’s goals.
Internal doubts
Ter Stegen who multiplied the reflex stops on his line seems well forgotten, and for months, even years now. If he does not cost his team points, he does not bring any either. And the management of Barça is well aware of this, as reported by the Chain BE. Spanish radio indicates that FC Barcelona is looking for a goalkeeper for the summer transfer window. Without revealing any names.
And it would not be a double for the German, but a serious competitor capable of taking his place. In addition to his not always optimal level, his knee problems – the two are possibly linked – would also cause internal doubts in the Barcelona side. Suffice to say that it would be better for him to perform well over the last three months of competition…
