The German national goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen enjoys the highest recognition at the top Spanish club FC Barcelona.
“Everyone loves him. He is not only one of the best goalkeepers out there at the moment, but a very fine person,” said long-time Barca official Toni Freixa (51) at “Spox” and “Goal”
. Freixa impresses above all how ter Stegen has adapted to the conditions in Spain. “I know a few foreign players who have integrated as well and learned the language as he does. For me, he is the real captain of the team because he takes care of his team-mates and goes ahead with performance on the pitch,” Freixa said. Other German
players have also done it to Freixa, although a signing is rather unlikely. “I am enthusiastic about Kimmich and his game intelligence, but also about Goretzka, who advances every midfield of the world with his physics and his goal danger. But one should not make any illusions, FC Bayern is not a sales club,” he explained.
