Barcelona fans are making their voices heard in an unprecedented way.
As the club’s rumored pursuit of Espanyol’s Joan Garcia finds traction, the hashtag #TerStegenOut spreads throughout social media channels, becoming a global hot topic on X.
The campaign reflects rising displeasure among a segment of the fandom with current first-choice goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who has only recently returned from a lengthy injury.
What began as speculative speculation about Garcia joining Barcelona has since snowballed into a full-fledged movement.
Supporters are calling for a change of guard between the posts, and with rumors circulating that Wojciech Szczesny may prolong his stay at the club for another year, the goalkeeping position is becoming overbooked.

Simply said, something has to give, and a sizable portion of the fan base wants that something to be Ter Stegen.
While some dismiss the hashtag storm as the product of bots or overzealous fans, the data tells a compelling picture.
Replies to the club’s official posts are swamped with #TerStegenOut hashtags, memes criticizing the German international, and even edited highlight videos of his worst moments in a Barcelona jersey.
One particularly devastating video, over one hour long, detailing Ter Stegen’s claimed blunders has already received over 3 million views.
It is more than just digital noise. The ad represents a rising fan discussion about Ter Stegen’s long-term viability as Barcelona’s main goalkeeper.
While his best years gained him widespread recognition, recent injury setbacks and erratic performances have raised concerns.
Critics claim he is no longer the impenetrable wall he once was, and many regard Garcia as a younger, more athletic option whose best years are still ahead of him.
