Journalist Fernando Polo revealed a sense of surprise and bewilderment within FC Barcelona following the decision to start Marc-André ter Stegen in the match against Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey, a move that was completely unexpected within the club.

According to Bolo, the reason is that coach Hans Flick had hinted during the press conference before the match that the goalkeeper starting the game would be Wojciech Szczęsny, which was also confirmed internally within the club, making the plan seem finalized before match day.

The source added that Ter Stegen's presence in the starting lineup sparked a wave of surprise, not only on a technical level but also on the administrative and executive levels, as there was a clear feeling that something had changed at the last moment compared to the agreed-upon plan.

Bollo pointed out that the club officials realized there was a sudden change in the decision, but without knowing the exact reasons behind this unexpected shift, which sparked questions within Barcelona about what happened behind the scenes before the match started.

It is worth noting that Barcelona is very keen on the departure of the German goalkeeper in the upcoming period, as he is not part of the club's or coach Flick's plans, in addition to his high salary, while the German goalkeeper does not intend to make his departure from the club easier.
