The day has come, Ter Stegen's lie comes true, Barça fans expose it

Flick had been preparing a natural replacement in goal for months. The club believes Ter Stegen's cycle, despite years of great performance, has come to an end. The inconsistency of recent seasons and the need to rejuvenate the squad pushed the Catalan club toward a change that seemed inevitable.

The decision to go with Joan García responds to a long-term vision. The board wants a goalkeeper with potential, trained in LaLiga and with a style that fits better with the new model Hansi Flick wants to establish at Camp Nou. His presence between the posts is a source of joy and hope for the culé faithful.

However, the truth is that Joan García's arrival hasn't closed the debate around Ter Stegen. The German is still the team captain and, for now, isn't considering leaving in January. This situation is causing a lot of anger among the Catalan club's supporters and adds to the lie he told a few months ago.

The truth always comes to light: Ter Stegen lied

When FC Barcelona wanted to register Joan García, they ran into the salary cap. LaLiga required freeing up a roster spot to register him. That situation caused obvious tension between the club and Ter Stegen himself, whose back injury became the center of the debate.

In this scenario, Deco explored the option of temporarily removing the German's registration to register Joan García. The sporting director argued that the German would be out for the 4 months required by the regulations in order to use his spot. However, Ter Stegen claimed he'd be back in three months, refusing to let the club use his spot to register Joan.

The problem has now exploded, as 4 months have already passed and Ter Stegen hasn't even returned to training with the rest of the group. The culé fans, aware of the situation, have shown their anger because they believe the German put obstacles in the club's way just when they needed him most. That promise of a quick return has come to nothing, and the anger among the culé community has skyrocketed.

Many fans feel that Ter Stegen protected his position at the expense of hindering Joan García's arrival. The situation is seen as a maneuver to avoid losing prominence, even though the club had already decided to move forward with a new project in goal. Social media have echoed this discontent with messages that reflect a deep rift between the fans and the goalkeeper.
