[Saba Sports News] Since 38-year-old Manuel Neuer announced his retirement from the national team, the topic of who will be the new number one goalkeeper has been widely discussed. Recently, a domestic media outlet conducted a survey to vote for Germany’s new number one, and the results delighted many fans. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, currently playing for Barcelona in La Liga, led with almost 70% of the votes, making him the nation’s choice. The editor believes that since Ter Stegen first represented the German national team in 2012, he has always been Neuer’s backup but never gave up on his dream. At the club level, as Barcelona’s main goalkeeper, he has helped the team win multiple LaLiga and Champions League titles, showcasing his excellent skills and consistent performance. With Neuer leaving the team, Ter Stegen finally has the opportunity to shine in the national team.
