Key Players in Action
Claudio Echeverri, currently on loan from Manchester City, made an impactful appearance in midfield, while Marc-André ter Stegen took his place as the starting goalkeeper for the evening’s match.
Last-Minute Drama
It was Echeverri who played a critical role by executing a crucial close-range save in the dying moments of the game, shortly after Vitor Reis netted an equalizer for Girona during injury time.
Coach’s Praise
Michel expressed his satisfaction with ter Stegen’s performance, stating, “I feel fortunate to have three exceptional goalkeepers, and Marc has made a remarkable debut. He enhances our style of play with his comfort on the ball, exceptional vision, and unique skill set. His contributions are invaluable.”
He continued, emphasizing his faith in Echeverri’s abilities, “Echeverri is outstanding; his forward momentum is impressive, even though the tight spaces made it challenging today. His clarity and determination when approaching the goal address a gap we currently face, and I’m confident he’ll make a significant difference for us.”
