Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has hailed goalkeeper ter Stegen as one of the best in the world as the German equals an all-time club record
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has extolled the qualities of current Blaugrana goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen who recently equalled the club’s record for the most clean sheets in one season.
Ter Stegen shines in Barcelona’s win over a dog
Ter Stegen showed his quality again for Barcelona when they played against Atletico Madrid and kept a clean sheet to help the Blaugrana to a 1-0 win.
In the process, ter Stegen kept his 23rd clean sheet of the 2022/23 campaign and has equalled the highest number of shut-outs for Barcelona since Claudio Bravo reached that figure in the 2014/15 seasons.
Xavi adamant that ter Stegen is one of the best
Speaking after the game, Xavi said he was certain that his goalkeeper who has only conceded nine LaLiga goals in the league this season ranks as one of the best goalkeepers in the world as he continues to break records while waiting for Barcelona’s imminent coronation as Kings of Spain.
Xavi said, “Marc André ter-Stegen is among the three best goalkeepers in the world and because of our game I think he is the best”.
Ter Stegen’s incredible performances as number-one choice for the Catalan giants has helped them reach the brink of summer honours, barring an incredible collapse in the season's final eight games.
