Ter Stegen can break the clean sheet record for most clean sheets in a single La Liga season.

Ter Stegen can break the clean sheet record for most clean sheets in a single La Liga season.
This requires a clean sheet for Barcelona in the last match against Celta Vigo.

FC Barcelona are the Spanish champions and have been dominant in La Liga. They are the team in Europe that has conceded the fewest goals, and interestingly, it's only after securing the championship that goals have started going in behind Ter Stegen. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen now has one match left to etch his name in Spanish history, as he has the opportunity to become the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a single La Liga season.

Goalkeepers with most clean sheets in a La Liga season: 
1.     26 - Francisco Liano (1993/94)
2.     26 - Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (2022/23)
3.     24 - Jan Oblak (2015/16)
4.     23 - Claudio Bravo (2014/15)

This season has been Ter Stegen's personal best in his 7-year tenure at FC Barcelona when it comes to clean sheets. His performances this season undoubtedly make him one of the top contenders to win La Liga's Player of the Year award.

Clean sheets in Ter Stegen's Barcelona career:
2016/17: 13
2017/18: 19
2018/19: 16
2019/20: 14
2020/21: 11
2021/22: 11
2022/23: 25

The German goalkeeper deserves great praise for his season, but part of the credit should also go to Xavi and the Barcelona defense. Xavi has managed to create a solid defensive unit where Kounde, Christensen, and Araujo have shown world-class levels and established a reputation that makes opponents aware that they will have a difficult time scoring against FC Barcelona.

Ter Stegen’s La Liga stats 2022/23: 
Games: 37
Saves: 78
Saves ratio: 82.1%
Clean sheets: 26 

One can assume that the hangovers have subsided in Barcelona and that they will enter the match against Celta Vigo with top motivation. Ter Stegen and Barcelona will aim to secure this record before they can let the celebration begin again.
