Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has said he is happy at the club but revealed he came close to leaving the Camp Nou in 2016.
The German arrived at the club in 2014 but spent his first two seasons playing second fiddle to Claudio Bravo. He played European and Copa del Rey games, while the Chilean played in La Liga.
Ter Stegen said the situation prompted him to consider leaving, per DAZN and Goal's Jan Platte:
"Of course, you start to ponder [your future] because playing football is the most important thing. It would not have been better if the coach had said: 'You're playing in the league now and [Bravo] in the other competitions.
