Did Bayern’s chairman disrespect Ter Stegen?

Catalan media is annoyed at Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Chairman of Bayern Munich’s Executive board, for a perceived slight against Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen.

The comments came ahead of a quarterfinal clash between Barcelona and Bayern in the UEFA Champions League.

In Germany, a debate among national team fans rages on about whether Ter Stegen should take over for Manuel Neuer, who won the FIFA World Cup for Die Mannschaft. Neuer was the world’s #1 in those days, but some say the younger Ter Stegen has surpassed him.
