Who is the best player of the season for Barcelona? Lewandowski, Araujo or Pedri… the answer to that question is simple and he is not a field player, because Ter Stegen is the solution to the questioning.
Yes, although Lewandowski fights for the ‘Pichichi’ of LaLiga and that Roland Araujo is a bastion in defense, none is as important as it is, Ter Stegen for Barcelona.
This season, Ter Stegen has been in charge of being a real wall in the Blaugrana goal. Obviously, It is not only the job of the German goalkeeper, but also of the defense.
Peeeeeeeeero, when the Barcelona defense fails -and there has been a lot this season-, Ter Stegen is there to get the potatoes out of the firein addition to becoming the hero of all the culé fans.
Ter Stegen’s season with Barcelona is so surprising that is about to make a huge mark in top-tier European football…something he couldn’t even achieve with Luis Enrique and the ‘MSN’.
The brand of goals without goals that Ter Stegen pursues with Barcelona
After 28 days in the Spanish league, the Barcelona goalkeeper adds 21 games without conceding goalssomething that already at this point is impressive and that few have achieved in history.
He has 10 games left to play and the calendar could benefit the German for break a record of the blaugrana club itselfin addition to getting dangerously close to some others in the elite scene.
Claudio Bravo holds the record for clean sheets, It was in his first campaign as a blaugrana and he managed 23a number that does not seem difficult to achieve for Ter Stegen, because he is only three games away from surpassing it.
The challenge comes when we look at other countries, because there are three better brands than the Chilean and they are within reach of the Barcelona goalkeeper.
Manchester United and Van Der Saar from 2008-2009 and Atlético de Madrid from 2015-2016 have 24 goalless goalssomething that is not far from Ter Stegen’s numbers.
Only Mourinho’s Chelsea in 2004-2005 is above all, because Petr Cech scored 25 clean sheets that season.
The calendar that comes to the culés
| Date | Rival |
|---|---|
| April 16th | visit to Getafe |
| April 23rd | receives Atlético de Madrid |
| April 26 | visit to Rayo Vallecano |
| April 29 | receive Betis |
| May 2 | receive Osasuna |
| may 14 | visit to Espanyol |
| May 21th | welcomes Real Sociedad |
| May 24 | visit to Valladolid |
| May 28 | welcomes Majorca |
| June 4 | visit to Celta de Vigo |
The positive thing for the German is that there are five games at home (with which he would break the record), but three of them are against rivals from the top of the table.
Of the visits he makes, they are not so complicated for Barcelona and Ter Stegen could write his name with golden letters -more- if everything goes well for him.
