#2 Ter Stegen rises to the occasion

There has been a lot of criticism of Marc-Andre ter Stegen lately. The young German proved all of it baseless with his amazing performance to shut down the Arsenal attack. Arsenal managed to get quite a few chances over the course of the game, most of which should have gone through had it not been for Ter Stegen between the posts. While he didn't have to make that many saves, the ones he did pull were of the highest quality.

This should come as a breather for the youngster, whose form had been in question since the onset of the season. After the dream run he had last season, it was only a matter of time before he regained his confidence. This is certainly a good sign for Barcelona as the fans and the team have a renewed faith in the German keeper and know that they can rely on him to keep the goal safe.
