Barcelona 2016-17 Season Grades: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen & Other Keepers

Related Topics: Stegen, Barcelona

One more season is behind us, so let’s look at how each player did. These grades are assigned versus expectations, meaning they are not absolute scores, but relative ones. Today, the goalkeepers.

Ter Stegen gave a great account of himself in his first season as Barcelona’s undisputed #1. Sure, at times he made the wrong choice when playing the ball from the back, but more often than not, he made not just the right choice, but superlative plays building up play. He also kept the team in many games with notable saves. This, while his former competitor for the Barcelona gloves, Claudio Bravo, had a miserable season with Manchester City.
