Ter Stegen Voices Frustration as Barcelona’s Defensive Woes Continue

Following Barcelona’s disappointing 1-0 defeat against Shakhtar, goalkeeper Ter Stegen expressed deep frustration, saying, “We are angry with ourselves. This result cannot happen to us.”

Reflecting on the recent performance slump, Ter Stegen acknowledged, “We have had two games that are not good. In El Clasico, we played a good game until the 60th minute. Then we went down a little. Right now I can’t tell you why. We are going to analyze the situation.”

Barcelona, having lost two of their last three games in all competitions, faces defensive challenges, allowing 14 goals after 16 games, a stark contrast to their defensive solidity in the previous season. Ter Stegen himself acknowledges the need for answers to address the team’s defensive concerns.
