Marc-Andre ter Stegen, or MAtS as they call him, is an unbelievable goalkeeper.

Against Sevilla, he was at his imperious best, producing fabulous saves to preserve the lead for his side. The two goals conceded should not be a blot on his performance, as he did not have any chance of saving both the strikes.

He produced a sensational double save on the hour mark, saving Silva's header before spreading himself to smother Vasquez's rebound. The German conjured up a similar sequence late on, which was arguably better than the first one. His distribution was impeccable as usual, and so was his positioning.

The likes of Jan Oblak and David De Gea will stake their claim for being the best between the sticks, but ter Stegen might be sneaking towards that crown.
