10 best goalkeepers of the decade

9. Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has been a key man for Barcelona in recent seasons

Barcelona’s current #1, Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in the world throughout the decade, starting when he essentially saved his hometown club Borussia Monchengladbach from relegation in the 2010-11 season. Coming into the side late in the season, Ter Stegen kept 4 clean sheets out of a possible 5, allowing Monchengladbach to remain in the Bundesliga.

After three more strong seasons at the Bundesliga side, the German keeper made a move to Barcelona for a fee of just under £10m. Due to injuries, he didn’t play that often initially – but still helped La Blaugrana to victories in the Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League.

By 2016-17 he’d established himself firmly as Barca’s #1, and since then he’s gone from strength to strength, with his displays against the likes of Real Madrid, Paris St. Germain and Juventus earning him rave reviews.

Like countryman Manuel Neuer, Ter Stegen is equally as good with the ball at his feet as he is in terms of making spectacular saves, and despite a decade at the top already, he’s still only 27 years old – meaning the best could be yet to come from him.
