Ter Stegen: 'If he wants, Messi can throw the ball in your face'

In an open conversation on the Phrasenmäher podcast, goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen shared about his relationship with Lionel Messi during their time together at Barcelona.

Messi is a very influential player.

Despite the tense moments between the pair, Ter Stegen insists that these are temporary and will not have a lasting impact on their relationship. The German goalkeeper also admitted that Messi is "the only player who, if he wants, can "throw the ball at you and not miss the target".

However, Ter Stegn also shared that despite the times when they did not understand each other, they always maintained mutual respect, and the small conflicts did not last long. "We had times when things were not right, but those were just temporary moments. Messi is a special character and he is motivated by things that we cannot see," Ter Stegen said.

Regarding Messi's talent, the Barcelona goalkeeper did not hesitate to praise: "Leo is an excellent player on the pitch, with a lightness that no one can imitate. He can make you look bad with just one shot or an unbelievable pass."

Ter Stegen also revealed that Messi has always been a quiet but strong leader in the dressing room: "He's not a talkative person, but when Messi speaks, everyone listens."

Despite the tense moments, Ter Stegen has always considered Messi an important part of the Barcelona squad and feels lucky to have him playing alongside him rather than against him.
