You couldn’t have guessed this…
Marc-André ter Stegen joined Barcelona last season from Mönchengladbach, and it’s clear to see why the La Liga giants have set a buy-out of €80m euros for their goalkeeper.
It has been revealed that the four-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi joked that the stopper has better passing ability than himself.
