The German goalkeeper emphasised the importance of deploying a ball-playing goalkeeper, something Pep Guardiola has introduced at the Etihad since his arrival
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen recorded more passes and touches than Luis Suarez during Barcelona's 3-1 Champions League defeat to Manchester City on tuesday.
The German goalkeeper emphasised the importance of deploying a ball-playing goalkeeper, something Pep Guardiola has introduced at the Etihad since his arrival.
The Catalan coach sent established No.1 Joe Hart to Torino and signed Barcelona shot-stopped Caludio Bravo based on his effectiveness on the ball.
Ter Stegen registered 45 passes during Tuesday's meeting between the two sides, the same number as Lionel Messi and 22 more than Suarez.
And while the Spanish champions were well beaten in the second half, Ter Stegen's impressive distribution was again clear to see.
