Enough is enough- Barca fans call for Ter Stegen to be dropped after Monaco defeat

AS Monaco defeated FC Barcelona 2-1 in their UEFA Champions League match. Maghnes Akliouche gave Monaco a decisive advantage in the sixteenth minute by opening the score. Following Barcelona’s Eric García’s red card, Lamine Yamal scored the equalizing goal in the 28th minute. Monaco’s George Ilenikhena scored the winning goal in the 71st minute after receiving a red card. The match statistics, which showed Monaco’s dominance with 18 shots to Barcelona’s 4, ultimately led to a significant victory for AS Monaco.

Barcelona supporters are not happy with Marc-André ter Stegen after he played poorly in the team’s 2-1 loss to Monaco. With their opening round UEFA Champions League match on September 19 at Stade Louis-II, the Blaugrana, who are currently positioned 23rd in the new league phase standings, were dealt a blow.

Barcelona’s evening got off to a rocky start in the 10th minute when Eric Garcia was sent off for a straight red card for a foul on Takumi Minamino, a former player for Liverpool. Garcia’s dismissal was partially explained by Ter Stegen’s poor pass from his box, which gifted possession to the opposition.

Six minutes later, Maghnes Akliouche gave Monaco in Ligue 1 the lead with a low strike that beat Ter Stegen and gave him no chance to respond.

However, Lamine Yamal showed his mettle with an incredible goal to equalize in the 28th minute. Monaco continued to put pressure on Barcelona, and in the 71st minute, George Ilenikhena scored the game-winning goal.

Although Ter Stegen made six saves and 19 recoveries, many fans were skeptical of his dependability in goal due to his actions during Monaco’s goals and his involvement in the moments before Garcia was sent off.
