Did Ter Stegen really force Claudio Bravo out of Barcelona?

Although many Barca fans believe there was a beef between Claudio Bravo and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the Chilean claims he has no hard feelings towards his successor.

“I never had a problem with Ter Stegen,” Bravo told The Players’ Tribune. “He played in the cups, I played in the league. The press made a big deal about it, and some even said we were enemies, but that wasn’t true at all.

“We had talked about it with the coach, and I understood that they wanted to invest in the younger goalkeeper. I have never knocked on the door to ask why I’m not playing.

“I simply prepared the best I could and dealt with whatever came my way. I was proud to play in and to win La Liga, which is the bread and butter of a club like Barça.

“I think Marc and I raised the bar for one another. If I don’t play, it’s my job to support the one who does, because a team is about more than 11 players. In the end, we won the treble together. That, in my eyes, made us both winners. ”
