Marc-Andre 'Wall' Stegen is one of the few nicknames he has earned through his incredible performances for the Catalans.

You might be thinking how he could help Messi lead Barcelona. Well, he's not helping Messi directly, but the consistency and brilliance he has shown this season are no less than that of Messi's.

He has been a reliable player, and when the defence experiences an off day, you can sure count on Ter Stegen. Unlike most of the goalkeepers, his confidence in playing with his feet gives him a spot above each and every goalkeeper there is.

Week in week out, he never fails to impress. The German is probably the best at what he does. The possession-based football Barcelona prefer to play would not be possible without a keeper like Ter Stegen.

He demonstrates himself as more of a midfielder than a goalkeeper, showing off his extraordinary composure and control on the ball. The German is a gem of a player and the competition Jasper Cillesen provides from the bench only forces Ter Stegen to go one way - forward.
