Cristiano Ronaldo sends a message to Hansi Flick after the Nations League: 'It's the best'

Cristiano Ronaldo speaks out after the victory over Germany, highlighting key decisions for Barça's future

The match between Germany and Portugal in the Nations League brought many emotions, highlighting the key players. Cristiano Ronaldo, with his decisive goal, was one of the protagonists of the match. However, beyond Portugal's victory, a topic that gained traction was the situation of Marc-André ter Stegen, the goalkeeper for the German national team and FC Barcelona.

The match and Ronaldo's goal

Portugal's victory over Germany in the group stage of the Nations League reached its climax with Cristiano Ronaldo's goal. This goal not only sealed his national team's win, but it was also a symbolic blow for the German goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen, who couldn't prevent it.

Although Ter Stegen had some outstanding interventions, he couldn't prevent his national team from being eliminated, which increases the pressure on him, especially at Barcelona.

Ter Stegen's situation

Ter Stegen is going through a difficult time. After an injury that kept him out for a while, the German goalkeeper returned to the national team, but his performance hasn't met expectations.

At Barcelona, rumors about the possible arrival of Joan García, the homegrown goalkeeper, have increased doubts about Ter Stegen's future at the club. The fact that he couldn't prevent Germany's elimination in the Nations League has only intensified the criticism toward him.

Cristiano Ronaldo's message to Hansi Flick

After the match, Cristiano Ronaldo didn't miss the chance to send a message to Hansi Flick, Germany's coach. "It's the best," said the Portuguese forward, referring to the option of signing Joan García.

Although signings are always delicate, Ronaldo made it clear that signing Joan García would be an excellent decision for Germany and Barça. Ronaldo suggests signing a young and talented alternative to compete on the big stages, something Barça could soon value.

Joan García: the future of Barça?

With the transfer market always in the spotlight, the possible arrival of Joan García at Barcelona is gaining relevance. The young goalkeeper has great potential and is seen as a key option to strengthen Barça's goal, given the uncertainty about Ter Stegen.

Meanwhile, for the German national team, rumors also suggest that Joan García could play an important role in the team's future.
