Former "Barcelona" club midfielder Ivan Rakitić is surprised by the current drama unfolding in the Catalan team.

La Liga champions are trying to push goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, but the latter does not intend to give in.

Which goalkeeper should be the main one in the upcoming season?

It's a very easy choice – of course, it's ter Stegen.

He is the captain and is very respected among his teammates. I don't see a better goalkeeper than him in Europe or the whole world," explained the recently retired Croatian.

Of course, "Barça" newcomer Joan Garcia is very talented, but he has to earn his place. Playing for any "La Liga" team is not the same as representing the Barcelona club.
