- Ter Stegen names his top three keepers
- Names Ederson, Courtois
- Surprise inclusion of Sociedad's Remiro.
WHAT HAPPENED? Marc-Andre ter Stegen is about to play his tenth season for FC Barcelona. The German has been considered one of the best shot-stoppers in the world, he also had one of the best defensive records last season in a historical campaign with the Blaugrana. The shot-stopper, in an interview with club media, named his top three current goalkeepers in world football.
WHAT THEY SAID: "I wouldn’t include myself! Well, there’s [Thibaut] Courtois, who I think is doing a fantastic job. Last season and before, Ederson [Moraes] was doing a great job too. I could name many more but I will limit myself to three. I have a lot of time for [Alex] Remiro, I think he’s been doing a great job in recent years and I really like him as a person too."- Ter Stegen when asked for his top three keepers in the world.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ederson and Courtois, despite his Real Madrid affiliations, are very common names in the debate. However, Sociedad's Remiro was definitely a surprise inclusion which shows how highly the German rates the Spaniard.
