BARCELONA — Marc-Andre ter Stegen has told ESPN FC that Barcelona’s players are only human after Leganes goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar accused them of being bad losers.
Cuellar claimed not a single Barca player congratulated Leganes on Wednesday after they inflicted a first defeat of the season on Ernesto Valverde’s side at Butarque.

After spending the first three years of his Barcelona career living alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the idyllic suburb of Castelldefels, Marc-Andre ter Stegen recently made the decision to move back to the centre of the city.
The German goalkeeper now resides in the fashion district of Gracia, and it would appear that he is familiarising himself with his new surroundings by trundling around the streets on his new electric scooter.

There was something wrong with the way Marc-Andre ter Stegen ran, which was lucky. Had there not been, none of this might have happened. He might have given up right then and there, 15 years ago, and you might never have heard of him. He was 10 and playing for Borussia Monchengladbach, where he’d been since the age of four, when his coach broke the bad news. He was only a kid but there was something in his style that wasn’t quite right and maybe never would be either; enough to end it, anyway….

Germany need not worry should captain Manuel Neuer not regain full fitness ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, according to former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, who put forward Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the best of many quality alternatives.
