Man City keeper Hart praises Barcelona gloveman ter Stegen

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has heaped praise on Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The England international believes the 23-year old German gloveman is the perfect fit for Barcelona, rating him alongside Bayern Munich star Manuel Neuer and Barca's La Liga keeper Claudio Bravo.

"Neuer is great to watch. He fills the goal and has won everything, including the World Cup but I like ter Stegen at Barcelona," Hart told the Daily Mirror.

"He plays the Barcelona way, as does their other keeper Claudio Bravo, and in many ways they are the perfect goalkeepers for that style of play."

Despite not playing a minute in Barcelona's league-winning campaign, the former Borussia Monchengladbach number one as featured in all 12 of the Blaugrana's European fixtures ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against Juventus in Berlin.
