The injury occured during the first-half of the Villarreal Vs FC Barcelona fixture in La Liga 2024/25, at the Estadio de la Cerámica, as the German goalkeeper landed awkwardly after catching a cross. The injury forced his substituion and was replaced by Iñaki Peña.
The current captain of FC Barcelona has started every game this season. His 289th appearance in a Blaugrana shirt vs Villarreal now moves him up to third position in the all-time goalkeeper appearance record for the club, surpassing the legendary Antoni Ramallets.
Robert Lewandowski Dedicates Win To Marc Andre Ter Stegen
FC Barcelona have returned to winning ways and have now registered 6 wins out of 6 La Liga games this season, as Blaugrana are looking unstoppable in the league this season.
Their 5-1 win against Villarreal included braces from Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, and a goal from Pablo Torre. Lamine Yamal was once again outstanding as the 17-year-old though failed to score, with his attempts hitting the woodwork, but managed to provide an outrageous assist via trivela (outside of his boot), as his special delivery was well-met by Raphinha.
The Polish striker, after the conclusion of the match, dedicated the win to Marc Andre Ter Stegen during the post-match on-field interview.
