Ter Stegen goes into his first international match as clear number one
The match will be particularly special for Marc-André ter Stegen. More than twelve years after his debut in goal for the national football team, the now 32-year-old can finally feel like the “clear number one” in Germany. National coach Julian Nagelsmann has appointed the FC Barcelona captain following the retirement of Germany’s record goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Goalscorer Niclas Füllkrug revealed at the team headquarters in Herzogenaurach: “Marc is really looking forward to this time, I can promise you that.” The endless wait for a turning point in the DFB goal has demanded a lot from ter Stegen. But he has not given up in frustration. “I am pretty sure that he will do the job very well without a doubt and give the team a lot of quality and character on the pitch,” said Füllkrug.

Kimmich and Füllkrug praise ter Stegen
After 40 international matches since his debut on May 26, 2012 against Switzerland in Basel, which was a false start for the then 20-year-old with five goals conceded and a 3-5 defeat, ter Stegen can now look forward to his first major tournament appearance; at the age of 34 at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Since the 2010 World Cup, Neuer has been in goal for the DFB at each of the four World Cup and European Championship finals. “It almost became a painful topic at some point when you only have such an outstanding goalkeeper as your number two,” said Füllkrug.
