Club career

Borussia Monchengladbach

Marc-André ter Stegen played for Borussia Mönchengladbach since July 1996 and went through the entire youth department there. In 2009 he signed a professional contract. Before Gladbach's then coach Lucien Favre made him the new number 1 in the first team, he had played as a regular goalkeeper in the second team .

Ter Stegen made his Bundesliga debut on April 10, 2011 against 1. FC Köln . He also played in the remaining six Bundesliga games of the 2010/11 season and the two relegation games against VfL Bochum ; at the end of the season, his team held the class and reached fourth place in the following Bundesliga season 2011/12 .

On January 6, 2014, Mönchengladbach's sports director Max Eberl announced at a press conference that Ter Stegen would not extend his contract, which ran until 2015.

FC Barcelona

For the 2014/15 season ter Stegen moved to FC Barcelona . He signed a five-year contract in May 2014 and cost 12 million euros in transfer; his release clause is 80 million euros. In his first season with the Catalans , Ter Stegen was only second goalkeeper behind Claudio Bravo in the league, but seeded in the UEFA Champions League and the Copa del Rey . He made his first competitive game for FC Barcelona and at the same time his Champions League debut on September 17, 2014 on the first match day of the preliminary round in a 1-0 win against APOEL Nicosia . Ter Stegen played all 13 games in the Champions League. There were also eight appearances in the Copa del Rey. At the end of the season, Ter Stegen and his team won the triple , consisting of championship, cup and Champions League victory.

He made his league debut due to an injury to Claudio Bravo on September 12, 2015 in a 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid . He made a total of seven appearances in the Spanish league in the 2015/16 season . After Bravo left FC Barcelona in the summer of 2016 and moved to Manchester City in the English Premier League , Ter Stegen was promoted to goalkeeper in all competitions.

On May 29, 2017, he extended his contract term until 2022; his release clause has been increased to 180 million euros.

After the 2019/20 season, which he finished with FC Barcelona for the first time since his move to the Catalans without a title, he underwent an operation on the patellar tendon on his right knee on August 18, 2020. The club put his downtime at around two and a half months.

National team

Marc-André ter Stegen at the Confed Cup 2017

In May 2009 he was a regular goalkeeper in the squad of the U-17 national team , which won the U-17 European Championship in Germany in 2009 with a 2-1 win in the final against the Netherlands . The technical commission selected him alongside the Italian Mattia Perin as one of two goalkeepers in the team of the tournament. The following autumn he was also the goalkeeper at the U-17 World Cup in Nigeria in 2009 , but the team failed in the round of 16 against later world champions Switzerland.

On February 29, 2012 he made his debut in the U-21 national team , which won 1-0 against Greece in Halle (Saale) . Coach Horst Hrubesch appointed him to the squad for the U-21 European Football Championship in 2015 in the Czech Republic .

After Ter Stegen was appointed to the provisional squad of the German senior national team for the 2012 European Championship by national coach Joachim Löw , he gave up on the starting line-up on May 26, 2012 in St. Jakob-Park in the 3-5 defeat against Switzerland his international A debut. At that time he was the second youngest goalkeeper in the national team after Eike Immel . On May 28, 2012, Löw announced that Ter Stegen, unlike Ron-Robert Zieler , who had made his debut a few months earlier, was not part of the final squad.

Ter Stegen played his second international match on August 15, 2012 in Frankfurt against Argentina . He came on for Thomas Müller after Zieler was sent off with a red card . Immediately after being substituted on, Ter Stegen saved a penalty from Lionel Messi , who failed to convert a penalty for the national team for the first time, but then conceded three more goals.

Ter Stegen was not considered for the provisional 2014 World Cup squad. On the other hand, he was nominated for the first preparatory game on May 13, 2014 in the Volksparkstadion against Poland , as some players from the squad had to complete competitive dates with their clubs. He came on as a substitute at the beginning of the second half and remained clean for the first time in the German senior team.

Ter Stegen was part of the national team for the 2016 European Football Championship , in which the German team was eliminated in the semi-finals against France . However, he remained in the tournament without use.

Ter Stegen was part of the DFB squad for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia. After Bernd Leno failed to make mistakes in the first game against Australia, Ter Stegen moved into the starting line-up. For the four other matches in the tournament, the coaching team decided on him as the goalkeeper. He was in goal in the following games and in the final against Chile for the entire season and had a share in winning the Confederations Cup. Due to the broken metatarsus of the goalkeeper Manuel Neuer , Ter Stegen was used several times in the next test and friendship games. At the 2018 World Cup , national coach Joachim Löw chose the new goalkeeper, who had only got fit shortly before the tournament, so that Ter Stegen was again without a substitute goalkeeper.
