This is the second time this season that Barcelona has lost to Monaco, the first time was in the preseason, when Barcelona was defeated by three goals. Now in the Champions League, the three points are gone because of a red card that, in my opinion, shouldn't have been awarded. But in football, errors happen, and a team might lose at any moment. After realizing that his error led to the Champions League loss, Stegen deactivated his Instagram account because the outcome wasn't what they had hoped for. However, they still have six or seven games left, so I'm confident in their performance this season despite the loss to Monaco.
Barcelona, on the other hand, is looking for a new goalkeeper to replace Stegen, who will miss the rest of the season due to an injury sustained against Villarreal, and their second goalkeeper isn't experienced enough to help them throughout the season. I hope they find one quickly before their next Champions League match.
He played well in the second half against Villarreal, but he certainly doesn't have enough experience for Flick to count on him throughout the season. Ter Stegen has been injured for the second season in a row, and he is still young, especially for a goalkeeper, 32 years old, but frequent injuries are a bad sign. The fact that Barcelona lost to Monaco in the off-season has nothing to do with the defeat in the Champions League, I am sure if it weren't for the red card the result would have been different. Of course, Ter Stegen was worried about his mistake, and fans are often too cruel, they won't remember how many times he saved the team, but they will remember one mistake.
Losing ter stegen for a long time will clearly affect the overall performance of the team, barcelona is consistent in la liga this season, to maintain its positive trend, an experienced replacement goalkeeper is needed and must immediately find a replacement for stegen under the crossbar, the problem is now the transfer market has closed, the option that allows barca to fully entrust the goal to inaki pena and ander astralaga, but I still doubt that these two goalkeepers will make a full contribution to the team.
Regarding the defeat to monaco, it was clearly a mistake but fans don't always have to be cruel, there are times when players make mistakes, it's natural in the match.
After all, barca still has 7 remaining matches in the UCL, the opportunity is still wide open.
