Marc ter Stegen won't be one of the usual starters taking a break tonight (9 p.m./LaLiga TV on Movistar+) in Cádiz. The German has a new chance to continue his streak without letting in a goal in the League and needs to play at least 60 minutes for the match to count. There are eight games left, and that's how many games the German needs to reach the 28 required for the Zamora Trophy.
So far, after keeping five clean sheets, Ter Stegen has only let in 17 goals in 20 league games, averaging 0.85 per game. The German has a better record than Unai Simón (Athletic), who has an average of 0.90 after conceding 26 goals in 29 games. Following him are Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad) with an average of 1 (28 goals in 28 games), as well as Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia) and Álvaro Valles (Las Palmas), both with 1.10 (32 goals in 29 appearances). Jan Oblak (Atlético) is further behind with an average of 1.17 (35 in 30).
With 493 minutes to zero since Iago Aspas beat him in the 47th minute of Celta-Barça (1-2) on February 17, Ter Stegen is one and a half games away from reaching his limit of 636 minutes. If it doesn't fit today and stands at 583', he would be 53' away from his best streak and could beat it in the Clásico on Sunday the 21st (9 p.m.) against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. In that same stadium he set the mark at 636' in October 2022. Barça's record in the League is set by Claudio Bravo (755', 2015-16).
