Ter Stegen writes letter to Barcelona fans
The German goalkeeper celebrated the league win but touched on the disappointment, too
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has created a strong link with the FC Barcelona fans and wanted to end the season by writing them a letter.
The German goalkeeper used the club's official media to post the letter, in which he touched on another league title butu also the disappointment among the players at the way the season ended.
Ter Stegen began by explaining that he's returning from an injury and says he is "currently working hard at our facilities to be back to 100% as soon as possible. It was an intense season and I’m looking forward to summer vacation to rest and clear my mind."
He adds: "This is my fourth league title won in five years. And for FC Barcelona, it’s the 8th league title won in 11 years. That’s a big achievement!
"Nevertheless, I’m as disappointed as everybody else — including my teammates, the club, and the fans — that our season ended the way it did. It was a good season for us, but it wasn’t perfect, with some tough moments at the end.
"First, in the Champions League against Liverpool at Anfield, where we simply weren’t good enough. Second, in the final against Valencia where we weren’t able to make history by winning five consecutive Copa del Rey trophies."
The German concludes by looking at a landmark and the support he has from the fans.
"It’s the end of my fifth year, and I have now played 190 matches wearing the blaugrana colors with pride" he added.
"It’s an honor to hear you chant my name the way you do! Thank you for the support behind the goal, the support at away games, and the way you treat and respect my family and me in this special city."
“Estimada familia azulgrana...”
