  • Ernesto Valverde’s pragmatic approach has allayed summer fears of a Barcelona decline in the wake of Neymar’s departure to Paris-Saint Germain.

    Sitting nine points clear at the top of La Liga and some 14 ahead of rivals Real Madrid, the Catalan giants are on course for a season of silverware.

    Lionel Messi, of course, has been a crucial spearhead for the Blaugrana but it’s at the back the side have impressed most with the likes of defender Samuel Umtiti and in particular German stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen hitting top form.

    Indeed, say it quietly but Ter Stegen is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world right now and the 25-year-old has frequently got his side out of jail with a string of superb saves.

    But the quality of his hands has never been in question.

    Building from the back requires excellent use of the feet, especially at club like Barca, and so the guys at Copa90 joined ter Stegen to test out just how good his use of the ball is.

    The German international was put through his paces with tests on his control, free-kick taking ability and power.

    Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the clip above, though, is just how cool of guy the Barca keeper is!
