Ter Stegen admits to ‘ups and downs’ at Barcelona as sights are locked on Champions League crown

The Catalan giants secured another La Liga title in 2019, but European glory has remained elusive for a team looking to right those wrongs in 2020

Marc-Andre ter Stegen admits Barcelona have endured “ups and downs” in 2019, with the Catalan giants hoping 2020 will deliver a long-awaited Champions League triumph.
