Marc-Andre ter Stegen Reaches Milestone 400 Appearances for FC Barcelona
German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has made FC Barcelona history by reaching his 400th appearance for the club in a match against Mallorca. This remarkable milestone places Ter Stegen as only the third goalkeeper ever to achieve this feat for the prestigious football club.
Prior to Ter Stegen, the illustrious goalkeepers Víctor Valdés and Andoni Zubizarreta had reached this remarkable milestone, further solidifying Ter Stegen’s place among Barça’s goalkeeping legends.
Ter Stegen’s milestone comes during a challenging season for the player, who faced a lengthy absence due to back surgery in December. However, he has bounced back and is showing his prowess once again between the goalposts in what fans hope will be another successful season for Barça.
With just ten more appearances, the German goalkeeper will surpass Zubizarreta’s 410 appearances to claim the second spot in the all-time appearances list for FC Barcelona goalkeepers.
Currently ranked 17th in the club’s all-time appearances list, Ter Stegen is poised to quickly climb higher, with names like Rifé, Alexanko, and Segarra soon to be surpassed with a few more games under his belt.
Ter Stegen also holds the title of the current player with the highest number of appearances, leading over his teammate Sergi Roberto by a notable margin.
