Barcelona have expressed their confidence in Iñaki Peña to step up as the backup goalkeeper following an injury to first-choice keeper Marc-André ter Stegen. The club has shown faith in Peña’s abilities, considering him the optimal choice to fill the void left by Ter Stegen’s absence.
Peña, who has recently committed his future to Barcelona by signing a new contract until June 2026, is now poised to take on a more prominent role between the posts. The club’s trust in the young goalkeeper is evident as they prepare to navigate through their upcoming fixtures without their German shot-stopper.
Marc-André ter Stegen, who hails from Germany, is a key figure for Barcelona, safeguarding the goal in Spain’s top-flight league, La Liga. His injury has prompted the club to look towards their own ranks for a reliable replacement, and Peña has been identified as the player to watch during this period.
