50 Players Who Will Dominate World Football In 2016

20. Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona)

Even more so with England, the goalkeeping position for Germany has been dominated by one man in recent years. Manuel Neuer has reinvented the role, and became the best in the world while doing so. You need a lot of talent to even come close to replacing him, but that's something Marc-André ter Stegen has in spades. He established himself os Borussia Monchengladbach's number 1 by the age of 19, and a couple of years ago he was one of two 'keepers signed by Barcelona to replace Victor Valdes. He has the gloves for Champions League games (Claudio Bravo is the League choice), and has already won Europe's top honours, and this should be the year he becomes their firm number 1, while he'll likely be at Euro 2016 as back-up to Neuer.
