WATCH: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen responds to Barcelona critics with incredible double save for Germany
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has been strongly linked with a move away from Barcelona this summer, with the club set to sign Joan Garcia to be the new first-choice goalkeeper. But the veteran stopper is determined to fight for his place, and on Wednesday, he showed that he is still capable of being the Catalans' number one. Ter Stegen has been at Barcelona for over a decade, and for the vast majority of that period, he has been the club's starter. But that looks set to change with Garcia's impending arrival, which would see him drop to third-choice in the pecking order (also behind Wojciech Szczesny). Image via Getty Images In recent days, Ter Stegen has made it clear that he has no desire to leave Barcelona, and he still sees himself as being more than capable of the starting spot in Hansi Flick's team. And he put those words into action when playing for Germany in their UEFA Nations League semi-final against Portugal. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen makes big saves for Germany Late on in Munich, Ter Stegen produced an excellent double save to deny Portugal attackers Diogo Jota and Francisco Conceicao. There has been a lot of doubts about Ter Stegen's level over the last few years, with many Barcelona supporters urging the club to move on from the 33-year-old. And while it appears that they will get their wish this summer, it is far from guaranteed that Garcia will come in and take the jersey right away – especially if Ter Stegen refuses to leave. But it is clear that Ter Stegen will want to play regular football in order to ensure that he is Germany's starter for next summer's World Cup. And if he cannot get that at Barcelona, he may have to accept defeat and move to another club.

Rudiger and Musiala absent but Ter Stegen returns for Germany Nations League
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann on Thursday recalled goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen in a heavily changed squad for the upcoming Nations League semi-finals. Nagelsmann made 10 changes, including naming two debutants, in his 26-man squad for the June fixtures. Midfielder Jamal Musiala, defenders Antonio Rudiger and Nico Schlotterbeck and forward Kai Havertz are among the notable absentees to miss out due to injury. The coach said the bulging casualty ward was "extremely bitter" but said he did not want to take any risks with the injured players. Sidelined since September, Ter Stegen will return between the sticks, with Nagelsmann saying Thursday the Barcelona shot-stopper is "in top shape" and "our number one." The goalie has made two league starts for Barcelona since his return from injury. Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz returns to the team, having missed the March fixtures with injury, as does West Ham striker Niclas Fuellkrug. Midfielder Tom Bischoff, who will move from Hoffenheim to Bayern Munich in the summer, along with Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade, have been called up to a senior Germany squad for the first time. The coach praised the 1.98-metre-tall Woltemade's "extraordinary skills", saying he has "momentum totally on his side right now". Nagelsmann also recalled Bayern Munich duo Serge Gnabry and Aleksandar Pavlovic, along with Borussia Dortmund's Waldemar Anton and Felix Nmecha. Fiorentina defender Robin Gosens has also made his return to the squad. Germany's victory over Italy in the quarter-finals in March won them the right to host the remainder of the tournament. The Germans will take on Portugal in Munich in the semi-final, with European Champion Spain facing France in the other semi-final in Stuttgart. Under Nagelsmann, Germany has returned to form after almost a decade of disappointments on the international stage, including two group stage World Cup exits in a row. Germany were defeated in extra time by eventual champions Spain in Euro 2024 in the quarter-finals. Nagelsmann praised his side's run to the final four but added "we can't afford to go one metre less than we did in the best moments in the quarter-finals against Italy".
