Barcelona’s otherwise successful evening has been overshadowed by a troubling update on their player situation.
Late in the first half, Marc-André ter Stegen fell to the ground, visibly in pain as he clutched his knee.
The German goalkeeper was reluctantly taken off the field on a stretcher, displaying visible distress as he covered his face with his hands. Reports on Ter Stegen’s status are concerningly pessimistic.
Initial assessments from Barca insider Javier Miguel of Diario AS indicate a significant injury to his right knee, leading to concerns of an early end to his season.
