He's been elite in LL. But if we are to be honest, his CL debut campaign has been underwhelming. 13 goals conceded in 8 games. I know its not all his fault but I dont remember any memorable match winning save/performances in CL (yet). Some of his attempts at saving close range shots and then falling in to the net was very MatS-like (thanks to the bald fraud I guess). Also, a WC keeper does better on Sorloth goal. If his CL form continues next season, serious questions will need to be asked. A team striving to win the CL should be expecting better from their starting keeper.
He may still turn out to be the hero at Metropolitano but I'm not holding my breath.

If he is showing such a good level in La Liga there is no real reason he shouldn't transfer it to CL at some point
People will say Ter Stegen but
1) This guy is not a mental midget. He dropped THAT performance on packed Espanyol stadium weeks after leaving them and with whole stadium insulting and booing him all the time
2) He is much better than Ter Stegen. Even in La Liga. Ter Stegen had good moments but he also had plenty howlers and cost us games in the league too.
It is his first season, so maybe he needs some time. That being said, on Metropolitano we need his best version. I hope he doesn't disappoint. I feel if we don't concede we are almost certainly going through

He's really good. Just the little things you notice, the class, that tells you he is a top keeper.
His awareness is great, he is always on top of everything, and he's always composed.
A number of long balls which he cleared some way away from our goal would have resulted in big chances.
Wouldn't be surprised if there is interest in him, for big money offers.

No one will make offers really as there is zero chance Barca would sell.
He is better than every EPL keeper and with his height what they would want for the way teams are slinging balls into box.
Would get huge offers if available but teams know he isnt.

Gave us hope with that save,
Unfortunately the bums couldn't create a single chance in the second half,
Minus few players
