Sure. If you count years as backup.
Claudio Bravo

The way he's performing, it kind of looks like the backup is going to be somebody else

I agree, it'd be different if Claudio in 2015 was like Iker a few year past his prime as a goalie and Barcelona winning matches was thanks to outfield players covering for his mistakes. But it's not. He's currently in the best form of his life and could continue playing at this level for maybe 3 seasons, which means his eventual descend - unless some big injury happens ofc - will probably be a slow burn as well.

You think he'll be starting at 36 or older? Talk about optimistic.
I mean hey, good for him if he does. But I don't think it'll happen pal.

If form was something that could be predicted four to five years in the future based on how someone is playing today the football world would have an entirely different outlook.
Well, many thought he woudn't be starting at 31.. I did. So yeah, I'm optimistic. He's a beast and will continue to play at top level for many seasons.

Is there a point in arguing about Bravo, to the forum's resident Bravo fanboy? No, I think I'd rather not waste my time.
Besides, as far as I am aware , STARTERS play the Champion's League.
Barca doesn't have a starting keeper. We have a league keeper and a cup keeper. If Bravo starts over Ter Stegen against Arsenal, then and only then, would I consider him an absolute starter.

Who's bitter?
I didn't bring up the nonsense about Bravo being an undisputed starter for 5 more seasons now, did I?

Fixed that for you.
It's really pointless to argue. Both keepers are spectacular in their own right, but the major difference comes to the massive difference in age between the two.

I wonder if Bravo will play CL games while he's here. Afterall, UEFA didn't recognize him, Douglas and others as winners since they didn't play a single minute, quite a stupid rule though. Got a medal ofc, but would be nice to be officially recognized as one too as I think with MSN, we could win two CLs still if luck favours us.
Not sure if Bravo is able to perform for 5 years as he's only performed at this level consistently since the last two-three years, but for the forseeable future he's a sure bet.

I dont need to tell you what happened, but would be interesting to hear LE's original plan regarding GKs prior to the 1st match.

Do you know his plans? I bet you blame mats for the inability of the attackers to score too.
