Four years into his Camp Nou career, the Germany international is seen as one of the most valuable players in the squad heading into this season
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is excited to be considered as one of the team's leaders this season.
The German goalkeeper has been touted as an option for one of the Spanish champions' four captains as coach Ernesto Valverde looks to establish a new hierarchy in his squad following the loss of last year's skipper Andres Iniesta.
After four years at the Catalan side, Ter Stegen has established himself as one of the stalwarts of the team, and is delighted to see his maturity being recognised among the squad.
