Marc-Andre ter Stegen enjoys his best season in the whole career. The German adds the much-needed solidity at the back. He was crucial in Barcelona's most recent 3-0 victory over Liverpool. Despite the high margin, Lionel Messi's late brace could have never happened if it wasn't for the Blaugrana No.1.
The Reds started the second half pushing for an equalizer. In the course of just 15 minutes, Ter Stegen was called into action several times. Moreover, he produced three stunning saves as he denied strong efforts from James Milner and Mohamed Salah himself. Nevertheless, he was solid and ready to save his team from a crucial home goal conceded.
Moreover, as WhoScored have noticed, no other goalkeeper has kept more clean sheets in the 2018/2019 Champions League campaign than Ter Stegen. He hasn't let any goals in on SIX occasions. It should be noted that he missed the final game of the group stage because it didn't hold any meaning for the Catalans.
Curiously, Ter Stegen has now kept more clean sheets at the Camp Nou stadium in the Champions League knock-out games than he has conceded goals during the same stages. Since 2014/2015, he has kept seven home clean sheets and let in just five goals.
In total, Ter Stegen has kept 23 clean sheets in 48 matches and conceded 39 goals so far this season in all competitions.
