Overview
- Marc ter Stegen, who debuted for Ajax on Sunday, kept a clean sheet as Ajax beat PEC Zwolle 2-0 and made a crucial pre-half-time save.
- The goalkeeper joined Ajax on a season-long loan from Barcelona that runs through June 30, 2027 with no reported purchase obligation.
- Stat providers gave ter Stegen a 7.5 rating for the match with 41 touches, 31 of 35 accurate passes and two saves, and analyst Kenneth Perez named him his 'man of the weekend.'
- Ajax manager Míchel has installed ter Stegen as his starting keeper because his passing and build-up skills suit the club’s possession-based system and upcoming European qualifiers.
- Ter Stegen arrives after a loan spell at Girona while recovering from injury, and the move lets Barcelona manage squad depth while giving the player a chance to regain regular minutes and restore his form.
