Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is starring, numerically, the best League since its arrival FC Barcelona in 2014. The German goalkeeper, who was a substitute in the domestic championship in his first two seasons as a culé, took this Saturday at the Mestalla against Valencia another step towards his first Zamora Trophy as the goalkeeper with the fewest goals in the League, with only four goals conceded after the first 12 days of the tournament. Among his merits, and that of Barça as a group, is keeping a clean sheet in 10 of the first 12 Liga games, something unprecedented in Liga history, as reported by Mr. Chip. On his record, Ter Stegen left Rogelio Antonio Domínguez (Real Madrid, 1957), Francisco Liaño (Deportivo, 1993), José Francisco Molina (Atlético de Madrid, 1995) and Víctor Valdés ((Barça, 2011)who went nine of the first 12 days of their respective seasons without conceding a goal.
Of Ter Stegen’s four goals conceded in the League, three of them were conceded in the same game, against real Madrid at the Bernabéu (3-1), with Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde and Rodrygo Goes of executioners. Another who suffered greatly signed it Alexander Isaac in the fight between Real society and FC Barcelona (1-4). The way to go Zamora is, so far, amazing: Ter Stegen stands out in the provisional classification with a coefficient 0.33far ahead Geronimo Rulli (Villarreal)with a 0.64 product of his 7 goals.
The list of matches in which Ter Stegen left the Barça goal without scoring is as follows: Rayo Vallecano (0-0), Valladolid (4-0), Seville (0-3), Cádiz (0-4), Elche (3-0), Mallorca (0-1), Celta (1-0), Villarreal (3-0), Athletic (4-0) and Valencia (0-1). This security allows the German international to also aim to surpass the best record of unbeaten matches, held by his former teammate at the Camp Nou Claudio Bravo. In the 20114-15 League, the Chilean international went 22 games out of a possible 38 without conceding a goal.

Europe, the world is upside down
As football will never be an exact science, the irony is that the historic lack of goals that Ter Stegen’s Barça have conceded in the Liga has been wasted in the Champions League. With ten goals, an average of two per match played, twice as many as Inter and four times as many as Bayern, it will be very difficult for the Barça team to advance to the next round. And it didn’t happen.
