Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen hails Andreas Christensen and Pau Cubarsi ahead of Napoli test

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has spoken to the press ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League tie with Napoli.

The stopper spoke about Barca’s recent improved defensive form, highlighting Pau Cubarsi and Andreas Christensen for helping the Catalans tighten up.

“Christensen as a midfielder gives us more balance between lines in defense and attack, it was a decision that Xavi made and it gives us a lot, I see him with confidence and calmness although at first he was not very comfortable,” he said.

“As a footballer what [Cubarsi] is doing is phenomenal, he can still improve a lot at his age, and as a person he is always open to listening, he is accessible and he is in spectacular shape and we must take advantage of it.
