The German goalkeeper was absolutely decisive with several anthological interventions that saved to the team. In spite of the defeat, the Seville carried a lot danger near of the Barcelona area and, at all times, topó with the cancerbero germano, that was excelso. Little more it can do Ter Stegen to convince to Joachim Löw that it has to be headline also with Germany.

In the minute 61, attained to repel a finish of head of André Silva with a palomita spectacular, and just afterwards cleared the finish point-blank of a player of the Seville that walked by the area in this same instant.
It would not be that the only double stopped of Ter Stegen, since in the minute 86 the Barcelona archer went back to lucirse, first with a shot of André Silva that cleared and just afterwards with another of Sarabia, something more esquinado, that also achieved to cover.
Definitely, the FC Barcelona owed him this Saturday the victory to his guardameta, since the 4-2 final is a deceptive result, taking into account the big quantity of opportunities of goal of which had the group hispalense in the second time, and that Ter Stegen attained to avoid.
It is not 'Superman', and as it is logical received two goals in which at all it could do, one of Sarabia after being diverted his shot by Lenglet, and another of Luis Muriel after a shot very very placed of the Colombian. After the meeting, in any case, the mates of Ter Stegen could not do at all more than elogiarle and congratulate him by his big performance.
