For me it's Oblak > Alisson = ter Stegen

Both Oblak and Alisson do get the benefit of a great defence and a juggernaut of a team.

Oblak is one of the best keepers I've seen.

Oblak by a clear margin, than Alisson, than Stegen very close to Alisson. Pretty much how Andresito rates it above.

Stegen is a world class keeper, but out of the 3, he receives the most goals where I say to myself 'a keeper of his quality should've saved that'.

Stegen is similar to De Gea in this way. Amazing saves at times and crazy reflexes, unbeatable when they are in the zone so to speak, but you know the mistake is coming, and it does not happen as rarely as it should be for keepers of their quality.

I think we can call that the consistency of making sure you get beaten only by superior finishing. It is very valuable for keepers. And both Stegen and De Gea let in goals where the opponent doesn't have to work too hard more often than keepers like Oblak.

People seem to forget Mats frozen or Olaf impersonation. You know, the one where opposition player shoots from distance while Mats just stands there rooted to the ground while the ball sails in.

MATS' frozen thing was only a big problem in Luchos's 3rd season, which was also MATS' first full season as starter for Barca.

He has hardly had more "Olaf" impressions than any other top GKs since that season.

I don't remember the goals per se, but what I do recall is plenty of times where I've been disappointed with his lack of reaction and him standing on his heels. With Vald?s for example I rarely felt that. Vald?s on the other hand was a lot more prone to making silly mistakes and bad decisions, ter Stegen is almost flawless regarding this.

At the same time we can't get anyone better. ter Stegen is not perfect but he's probably the smallest problem at our club, if we even can call it a problem.

LOL. How you going to blame Ter Stegen for that while the rest of the team was just meandering around and not in position before the corner.

That was a Valverde issue because Liverpool's scouting noticed Barca took too long to set up before corners.
