The FC Barcelona account published: "Marc ter Stegen has a complete rupture of the patellar tendon of his right knee. This afternoon, he will undergo surgical treatment. At the end of the intervention, a new medical report will be provided," confirming that he will be off the courts for approximately one year, a significant loss for Hansi Flick's team.

In the match against Villarreal, in which FC Barcelona won 5-1, the German goalkeeper was injured. In the videos, you can clearly see how he suffers the infraction. In principle, it was expected that the injury was only a few weeks, however, it was more serious than previously thought. Several colleagues have shown solidarity with Ter Stegen, who will have a long recovery.

In context, Ter Stegen did not come with a good relationship with the fans. In the previous match that FC Barcelona played against Monaco, they said that the two goals conceded by the French team were the goalkeeper's fault. In that context the fans asked for the departure of the German goalkeeper, now it was fulfilled, and Hansi Flick will have to look for a quality replacement.

The last games had not been good for Ter Stegen, however, there is no doubt that he is one of the best goalkeepers not only in the Spanish LaLiga, but in the world. Even at the time, it became number one in the world. His commitment to FC Barcelona has been total. It is expected that after his injury, he will return stronger and regain his confidence under the 3 sticks.

Hansi Fluck's words about Ter Stegen

The FC Barcelona coach said he was happy about the victory, but at the same time saddened by the injury of his goalkeeper: "The fans who watched it on television and who were in the stadium have seen an incredible game. The speed, the dynamics... We are very happy, but sad for Ter Stegen, because he is one of our captains."
