Marc-Andre ter Stegen

“If I have the chance to be an important part for my colleagues or someone they can look at and say, 'He's doing good; he's motivated,' this is an objective I want to reach.”

“I always wanted to play with both feet, so today I'm happy I trained it so often.”

“If you start thinking about eventualities, you lose your focus, and you can soon forget about it.”

“As a footballer, you always want to get better personally. And if you get better personally, you make the team better.”

“I have confidence in myself, which is vital to be a Barca keeper.”

“I want to be successful. That's what I want to be.”

“I'd be proud to be one of Barcelona's captains, but for me, it's not that important.”

“Sometimes journalists say that goalkeepers can do a little more when they play against Messi, but I see it in every training: it does not matter where you place yourself; he's going to shoot to the other side.”

“It's normal that a club like Barcelona need more than one top-level goalkeeper.”

“You can be as good as you want with your feet, but when you're making mistakes, the opinions will change immediately.”

“If all goes well, I can play for many years at Barcelona.”

“You have so many modern goalkeepers, and they're all different. There's not just one type of modern goalkeeper.”

“It is difficult for me to accept that I only sit on the bench in the league.”

“We have to play football, not concentrate on other things.”

“In football, sometimes things go very quickly.”

“Borussia are my old love, and that will remain so, but I identify with Barca 100 percent, and on the pitch, there is only one club for me.”

“People from outside don't know how difficult it is to be goalkeeper.”

“It would have been naive to believe that it's an easy job to become the undisputed No. 1 at Barcelona, but that's my target, and it's something I will tackle with all my ambition.”

“Barcelona want to be at their best in every match.”

“Sometimes you have faced no shots during 90 minutes, and in minute 91, there is a shot. You always need to be focused, concentrated, and this is what makes you tired, being so focused.”
