Ter Stegen hopeful 'phenomenal' Alcacer will pause his goalscoring streak against former club Barca

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen says former team-mate Paco Alcacer was always good enough to succeed at the top level – but hopes he can give the scoring a rest when Barca travel to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.

The Spanish forward spent two largely disappointing seasons at Camp Nou before joining Dortmund last season, and he has hardly looked back since.

With 26 goals in 38 appearances – including seven in six this season – Alcacer has more than rediscovered the form which convinced Luis Enrique to sign him from Valencia back in 2016.
