Is this the interview? @1:23. Je ne comprends pas l'allemand.
In addition to what S2K1985 said, the bit where he mentioned "Barcelona" was:

Interviewer: "[...] What will be the biggest challenge for you in Barcelona?"
MAtS: "... Who says I am joining Barcelona?"
Interviewer: "Almost everybody but you."
MAtS: "Well, I said I would announce my new club after the season is finished [...]"

Good pokerface by him.Anyway, Eberl said on Sky, "We know where he will play next season, the whole world knows where he will play next season, but there's one guy who doesn't want to say it yet." Also, Favre was asked whether he thought MAtS would make it at Barça, and he replied with yes. Seems 99% certain.

I'd say they are on par but Marc has still to prove himself at Barca

De Gea has been AM's and ManU's first keeper for the past 4 years so i'd assume he is way ahead of any keeper at his age and only to Courtois can be considered at the same level imo.
MATS is a young talanted keeper but still has a long way to go.

The guy hasnt even played one match for Barca and you are comparing him to De Gea and Courtois. And then the same ppl wonder why new Barca players are under so much pressure....

When talking about MAtS it's all about potential; he has the same potential as Courtois, I would say, but isn't as developed as him nor DDG. He's a potentially world-class keeper, and a good one right now.

Well i was answering another post who asked how he fares compared to DDG,but i don't get the pressure comment..When you play for Barca or any other big club you are bound to play under pressure..

Yeah but the expectations should be realistic. Let him progress on his own without comparing him at every opportunity to others. He will make mistakes and learn from them. But some "fans" will label him not good enough and not worthy of shining Courtois' boots are making one mistake(trust me their will be such "fans"). Just like its stupid to label someone upcoming as "The African or Croatian Messi" etc.
