At the beginning, it is all about fun. I had a lot of fun. But then, when I was 10 years old, more or less, I had a coach who said that I had a strange running style. I was about to leave... I had a decision to take: if I leave or if I stay, but as a goalkeeper.

People from outside don't know how difficult it is to be goalkeeper.

Education has been really important for me.

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.

Time You Ways

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

You Two Think

Borussia are my old love, and that will remain so, but I identify with Barca 100 percent, and on the pitch, there is only one club for me.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Love Wit Will

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Us Thing Thin

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 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.

Men Great You

Buffon is a hero for everyone who loves football.

I had a lot of coaches and each of them advised me how to reach my goals.

I don't watch goalkeepers, to be honest.

Ibrahimovic is one of the best players in the world.

If you start thinking about eventualities, you lose your focus, and you can soon forget about it.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Art Your You

Every position is difficult, but you're always involved in the biggest chances of the opponent; when there's a goal, you're always involved. It's difficult to explain, but this is the importance of the goalkeeper: he's always concentrated, even if he's not running as much as other players. He always needs to be focused.

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

I'm being called 'Messi with gloves?' I think he's had a great level over many years. You shouldn't compare yourself with that.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Love Great Yourself

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.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

War Way Then

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Love T Scoring

Sometimes journalists say that goalkeepers can do a little more when they play against Messi, but I see it in every training: it does not matter where you place yourself; he's going to shoot to the other side.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Time Yourself Yours

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Barcelona want to be at their best in every match.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

The truth is that I have full belief in myself.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I don't want to attract attention because I open my mouth.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Football is my job, and all that matters is the present, the next game.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

You can and must always keep improving and working on your game - not just your weaknesses but also your strengths.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

It is very important to be able to play with your feet, and deal with one-on-ones.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

No one can take away the experiences I have had.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I wanted to improve. I think I have done that as a person, too, and that will help me in my life.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

If I have the chance to be an important part for my colleagues or someone they can look at and say, 'He's doing good; he's motivated,' this is an objective I want to reach.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Successful, for me, means being important for my team and, hopefully, for us to win a lot of trophies.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I want to be successful. That's what I want to be.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

As a footballer, you always want to get better personally. And if you get better personally, you make the team better.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

There are always things we can improve on, but that is normal in football.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

You can be as good as you want with your feet, but when you're making mistakes, the opinions will change immediately.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I can't say who is the best, because all of them have their qualities. There are many goalkeepers out there who can make a difference.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

If all goes well, I can play for many years at Barcelona.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I obviously intend to play at a high level to show the boss that I can play more.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I do not decide who plays.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

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

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I know the pressure of being Barcelona's goalkeeper, but I'm here to play my football and the football Barca want to play. I'm not afraid.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Coutinho's very calm, I think. He's very grounded and a good person.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

If you don't have the best player in the world in the team, it would be strange if you didn't notice the difference.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I am happy when I play.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

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.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I began to play with both feet very early. So it is normal that I can play well with each of them.
