#3 Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (FC Barcelona and Germany)
Ter Stegen at just 25 is already on course to become the very best goalie in the world. After Claudio Bravo’s move to Manchester City, he has become the No.1 for Barcelona.
He is brilliant with the ball at his feet. Some of the best strikers in La Liga like Antoine Griezmann and Andoni Aduriz have been unable to beat him.
His huge leap in quality has been aided by consistency this season. The 2011-12 Bundesliga Goalkeeper of the Season is currently Germany’s No.1 given Manuel Neuer’s injury.
He has just conceded just 8 goals in both the La Liga and Champions League keeping 11 clean sheets. He was criticized after Barca’s loss away at Celta Vigo last season, but this season, he has been in fine form. He has been one of the main men for Barcelona after Lionel Messi this season.
With Barcelona getting the majority of possession in many games, he always needs to keep focus when called into action. Next up is El Clasico, a test that is sure to bring out the best in Ter Stegen. He is now capable of challenging Neuer for the starting position in the World Cup next summer.
