Barcelona keeper Ter Stegen denies reports of undermining ex-coach Xavi

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has denied reports of undermining former coach Xavi.

Xavi was sacked by Barca on Friday.

Bara Reservat reported last Thursday that Ter Stegen had met with president Joan Laporta and sports chief Deco in December to inform them that the Bara locker room were unhappy with the coach after a defeat against Girona in Montjuc.

However, Ter Stegen has denied claims, stating on social media: "The story published by 'Bara Reservat' directly attacks my personal values and I will not tolerate someone using my name to create bad vibes based on false information.

"If I ever want to say or report about something, I'm always going to be very direct with the person."
