UEFA Nations League Finals: Marc-Andre ter Stegen's reported demotion at Barcelona has raised fresh concerns about his standing in Germany's national team just a year before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to Spanish and German media reports, including Sport, Mundo Deportivo, and Kicker, new Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has informed the 33-year-old goalkeeper that he will serve as third-choice next season, behind new signing Joan Garcia and 35-year-old Wojciech Szczesny.

Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann has publicly sought clarification on Ter Stegen's future, warning that regular playing time is essential for selection. "Rhythm and consistent match practice are inevitable for anyone wanting to be part of the World Cup squad," Nagelsmann said.
