The German goalkeeper, who will make his 100th appearance for Barcelona against Getafe, surprised a few by revealing the three most dangerous forwards he has come up against: Lewandowski, Benzema and Aduriz.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen is set to enjoy a weekend of celebrations. If nothing changes, the goalkeeper will be in Barcelona's starting eleven against Getafe, and will reach is 100th appearance for the Catalan giants. Taking advantage of this landmark, 'Mundo Deportivo' posed a few tricky questions to the keeper, who may have ruffled some feathers with his responses.

For example, one notable absence from the list of the best three strikers is Cristiano Ronaldo. 

"I can think of two or three names. Lewandowski, Benzema and Aduriz have all caused me problems. They would be the most dangerous," revealed the German international.

As for the best match he has played in, ter Stegen went for the clash with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last season: "It was very hard work, not just for me but for the whole team and in the end we came away with the victory."

From that match, the keeper remembers two saves "from Kroos and Ronaldo" which helped his side to win. "I have very good memories of those two saves," he added.

"The best goal I have conceded is Marco Asensio's strike, recently," said the German, referring to one of the goals scored by the Spaniard during this year's Spanish Super Cup.

Finally, the Barcelona stopper admitted that San Mames stadium in Bilbao is the most difficult stadium he has played in, as well as recalling two memories which have stayed with him during his time at the Camp Nou: "The Champions League final in Berlin and the comeback against PSG, that was spectacular."
