Marc-Andre-ter-Stegen;-Barcelona

Marc-Andre ter Stegen: The German has been Barcelona's No. 1 goalkeeper in cup competitions and the Champions League. He was shaky earlier in the year, but he's settled with time and has been excellent. He's made some impossible saves and will have to do more of the same against Juve.

BARCELONA, Spain — Barcelona says it has reached a deal to extend the contract of goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen until June 2022.

The club said the new agreement, which has a buyout clause of 180 million euros ($201 million), will be signed on Tuesday.

Ter Stegen has been with the club since 2014, helping it win nine titles in three seasons.

The German goalkeeper has played 93 matches with Barcelona, conceding 90 goals in 71 wins, 10 draws and 12 losses.

Barcelona has already renewed the contracts of Javier Mascherano, Luis Suarez, Neymar, Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic. It is still working on new deals for Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi.
