Ter Stegen is approaching the Barcelona legend
Sudan Events – Agencies
Marc-Andre ter Stegen guards Barcelona’s den during the match against Real Mallorca, in the 28th round of the German League.
The Opta statistics network indicated that the German goalkeeper reached his 400th match in a Barca shirt.
Ter Stegen thus became the third most-appearing foreign player with the Catalan team throughout its history.
Only the Argentine Lionel Messi and the Brazilian Dani Alves are better than the former Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper.
Barca’s all-time top scorer has previously participated in 778 matches in various tournaments, while Alves has played in 408 matches, which means that Ter Stegen will be able to surpass him before the end of the current season.
The German international goalkeeper will remain behind Messi on the historical list, but he will need to stay for many years to be able to approach his record.
