The love story between Marc-André ter Stegen and FC Barcelona turns to open war. Fallen from his captain's armband without even being warned, the German international has also just lost his number … literally. On the club's official website, its name no longer appears in the list of players with an assigned number. The one who has been a pillar of Barça for almost ten years, sometimes even his Savior, is now treated as a unwanted.
It arrived in 2014 from Borussia M'Gladbach, but for months the cloth is burning: the club would have tried to part with it this summer, annoyed by its refusal to sign a medical report allowing to record new players. Ter Stegen, injured on the back and operated, has distanced himself from management, in particular by communicating himself on his situation. In response, Barça sides it symbolically and publicly. A brutal divorce that already makes teeth cringe in the Catalan locker room. The summer recruit, Joan Garcia, should recover his number and his place as a holder.
