Barcelona keeper Ter Stegen: Disappointing way to end season

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen admits it's been a disappointing end to the season.

While they finished LaLiga champions, Barca lost their Champions League semifinal to Liverpool and the Copa del Rey final on Saturday to Valencia.

Ter Stegen admitted: "I am disappointed, as are all teammates, the club and supporters, that the season closes in this way, it has been a good season for us, but not perfect, as there have been hard times at this end of the year.

"First, in the Champions League against Liverpool at Anfield, where we were not sufficiently focused. Secondly, in the final against Valencia, where we could make history by winning the fifth straight Copa."

However, he added: "We worked hard to raise the (LaLiga) trophy again, and this time we could celebrate it at the Camp Nou, this is my fourth Liga won in five years. It's the eighth in 11 years, a great success!"
