There’s a lot of pressure on teams to rotate players with a World Cup sandwiched between a regular season.
Still, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has played every single minute of all of Barcelona’s 16 games under Xavi this season.
The German goalie has been in fine form in La Liga with his nine clean sheets already making history in the competition.
