Many Barcelona fans are still reeling from Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s shocking performance in the 2-1 loss to Monaco in the Champions League, with many expressing their frustration on social media. Ter Stegen’s uncharacteristic mistakes left a bitter taste, sparking a flurry of jokes and comments about his future as Barca’s number one.
“Pedri has had enough of Ter Stegen, I’ll do it myself,” one Barcelona fan sarcastically remarked under the latest pictures of the midfielder. Another fan joined in with, “Pedri got tired of Ter Stegen and started training to be between the posts himself,” clearly playing on Pedri’s versatility and frustration with Ter Stegen’s recent form.
The jokes didn’t stop there, as more fans chimed in with similar thoughts. “Now he’s ready to take over from Ter Stegen,” quipped a third fan, while another boldly claimed, “He will be a better goalie than Ter Stegen.”
This reaction underscores the deep disappointment felt by many supporters, who have come to expect much more from their usually reliable goalkeeper. The jokes about Pedri stepping in as a goalkeeper may be in good fun, but they reflect the growing unease among fans over Ter Stegen’s inconsistency in such crucial matches.
