Barcelona should trust Iñaki Peña

With Marc-André ter Stegen’s long-term injury, it was inevitable that Barcelona would get linked to a lot of goalkeepers.

But rather than signing someone in a rush, faith should be kept on Iñaki Peña.

The 24-year-old has had ups and downs over the years, but his assured performance in the 1-0 win over Atlético de Madrid showed that when given a run out, he will respond. The manager should put faith in him to continue to increase his confidence.

Peña has experience being Galatasaray’s first-choice while on loan, and was a youth international for Spain. This is by far his biggest challenge, but at 24, he’s about the right age to face it.
