MARC-ANDRE TER STEGEN

I'd be proud to be one of Barcelona's captains, but for me, it's not that important.

If you think two steps ahead, you forget what's important in the now.

I am human, and of course I can make mistakes, even if nobody allows them.

I do not decide who plays.

It is not my decision who plays in La Liga, the Champions League, or the Copa. In any case, I just do the best possible in each training session and in each game to be able to get a chance in La Liga.

To play for Barcelona will help me show my best qualities to the world.

I am happy when I play.

As a goalkeeper, if you make 10 world-class saves but then miss one shot, or you let in a pass, you're there in the highlights afterwards - and, let's be honest: that is what most people see.

The truth is that I have full belief in myself.

I had some different positions. At first, I was a forward, and then, step by step, I kept moving back, and now I'm here at the goal. This was my way.

It is important to have the attitude and self confidence to be Barca's goalkeeper, and that I've got.

Barcelona want to be at their best in every match.

In football, sometimes things go very quickly.

When I first began playing football, I was a striker.

It would have been naive to believe that it's an easy job to become the undisputed No. 1 at Barcelona, but that's my target, and it's something I will tackle with all my ambition.

Sometimes you have faced no shots during 90 minutes, and in minute 91, there is a shot. You always need to be focused, concentrated, and this is what makes you tired, being so focused.

I loved scoring goals. I played to score goals. It's what made me happy.

Buffon is a hero for everyone who loves football.

I have confidence in myself, which is vital to be a Barca keeper.

Basically, I have to say I like it that not all guys are the same in football; otherwise, it would be boring.

The Champions League is always special. I believe every player, every fan, every coach wants this trophy. It is unbelievable, and it is one of the greatest achievements you can have in football.

The most important thing is not stagnating, to keep improving.

Of course my first goal is to save the balls. This is obviously the most important thing as a goalkeeper.

Ibrahimovic is one of the best players in the world.

It is difficult for me to accept that I only sit on the bench in the league.
