Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stergen is hoping for personal success against Real Madrid
Barcelona's upcoming El Clasico showdown against Real Madrid holds more than just three points at stake for goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. As La Blaugrana gear up for a crucial clash in the LaLiga title race, Ter Stegen has his sights set on a significant personal milestone.
With Barcelona clinging to their fading La Liga title defense hopes, the El Clasico encounter against arch-rivals Real Madrid takes on added importance. With their UEFA Champions League campaign concluded, Barcelona's sole focus now is disrupting Real Madrid's title charge and keeping their own slim hopes alive.
Ter Stegen's Stellar Form
In recent weeks, Ter Stegen has emerged as a standout performer for Barcelona, particularly in La Liga. The German shot-stopper has been instrumental in Barcelona's resurgence, boasting an impressive record between the sticks.
Ahead of the highly anticipated clash at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ter Stegen finds himself on the cusp of a remarkable achievement. He has kept six consecutive clean sheets in the league, contributing to Barcelona's extended unbeaten run.
Pursuing Personal Records
According to data from Diario AS, Ter Stegen has gone 583 minutes without conceding a league goal, nearing his own personal best of 636 minutes. Should he keep Real Madrid at bay for 53 minutes, he will surpass his previous record and inch closer to Claudio Bravo's club record of 755 top-flight minutes without conceding.
