1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[Galning]

I think he said "Plane?". I guess he wanted to know if Barca always travels by plane...

This vid shows Bartra's answer. "In this match, euhm friendly match, yes."
The mystery continues

 

[Hamzah]

This will be the best friendship in the history of Barca.

 

[Hummelsbauer]

Will be better than Neuer.

In all seriousness, he doesn't have the physical attributes to surpass him as a goal keeper.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

I reckon the same. He'll be very good, alright. But better than Neuer at his current peak or even his all-time peak (somewhere in the future, I guess) is asking for a bit much already, no?

 

[DonAK]

Couldn't care less about whether he becomes better than Neuer or not. Just want him to become a great keeper for FC Barcelona and someone who'll play for us for a very long time.

 

[KingMessi]

Neuer is 28. Mats is 22. There is plenty of time for MATS to get on Neuer's level. But let's not heap unwarranted expectations on him. If he gets there, then great. If he's really good but not quite at peak Neuer level, then oh well.

Neuer is just such a complete package that even if Mats reaches his level skill and mentality wise, his physical attributes are just not sufficient to get on Neuer's level. That's not a slight though. Neuer is already a GOAT level type goal keeper.

What physical attributes?

 

[KingMessi]

What physical attributes?

I don't know honestly. Neuer has 2" and 17 lbs on Ter Stegen. But other than that? :eusa_think:

Not sure about Neuer being the GOAT already.

How was Neuer when he was 22?

 

[raskolnikov]

Such bullshit, Muay Thai Neuer gets send off in the final like he should have been and nobody talks about him being all Lev Yashin and the bar for future goalies.

 

[KingMessi]

How was Neuer when he was 22?

Don't know about Neuer @ 22. But at 24 he put on an immense performance for Schalke against Man Utd. in the 2010-2011 CL semis despite Schalke losing.

Such bullshit, Muay Thai Neuer gets send off in the final like he should have been and nobody talks about him being all Lev Yashin and the bar for future goalies.

Agreed. Anybody who says that Neuer is the best goalkeeper of all time is a bit short sighted. He's the best sweeper keeper, false 5 GK I've seen though.

Sent off?

Once again:

He. Won. The. Ball.

The same way a player can get carded for dangerous play(High kick) despite of winning the ball

It wasn't even a high foot. Just an unfortunate collision.
