In an unusual move from world football stars, German cameras spotted Mark André Ter Stegen, Barcelona keeper, riding the Metro in Spanish Civilization.
The 26-year-old German is "not a traditional player who tends to stay away from the public," the sports daily Marca reported on Saturday.
"She took a house in the famous neighborhood of Gracia in the heart of Barcelona, which is strange to the Catalonian stars who prefer far away places to live," she said.
She said it was common to see a German walking near his home, or even use a skateboard to enjoy his time in front of people.
The behavior of Terje Stegen appears to be different from football stars, including Barcelona players, who are vying to buy the most expensive cars, and are curtailing their movements far from the public, especially public transport such as trains and buses.
There are many explanations for this. The first is the rise of some players, the second in trying to maintain their privacy and to lead normal life away from the harassment of the curious and the public
