Faith in Ter Stegen… and return of Iñaki Peña for Barça 2022-23

Despite not having his best season, Barça maintains an unwavering faith in Marc-André Ter Stegen. The German is indisputable in Xavi’s sports project, who considers that he is the best in the world in the game with his feet, a non-negotiable condition for Barcelona’s game model.

Ter Stegen will continue to be Barça’s number one goalkeeper next season, but the second will change. The technical secretariat wants Iñaki Peña (2-3-1999) back. The man from Alicante, on loan to Galatasaray, impressed the Terrassa coach in the Europa League round of 16 clash. With a contract until 2023, now it will be necessary to see if Peña is willing to spend a season on the bench, as he is facing the last season of his contract, and what Xavi can offer him against a goalkeeper like Ter Stegen who wants to play it all. Peña showed his satisfaction when he found out that Xavi is monitoring his games, but if he went to Galatasaray he went to have minutes. The goalkeeper and the club will have to study the situation, but Xavi’s intention has been made clear and that is for him to continue playing for Barça next season.
