The Barcelona goalkeeper is still not the German No 1 because of Neuer

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is one of the finest goalkeepers in the world. He's one of the top three up for the 'The Best' prize and an undoubted starter for the Catalans. However for the German national team he's still behind Manuel Neuer. A situation which he admits sometimes 'drives me crazy'.

In an interview with T-Online Ter Stegen said: "Of course sometimes it drives me crazy. You give the best of yourself and you're not where you want to be. However I think that with time I found an answer for myself. I established my priorities. I want to have success and the main objective is to be the country's No 1, but not at any price.

"Football is one thing but humanity is more important. I want to look at myself in the mirror and say: 'You've worked honestly and openly taken on your ambitions."
