He said, “It’s a huge relief that Eddie [Ederson] and Stefan stay”.

His charisma, his consistency and to replace the keeper always is tricky with the way we play and many things.” Pep continued referencing their second choice Goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. So, I’m pleased he’s staying and, of course, Stefan, congratulations, he deserves the contract, not for the save against Spurs but for the [whole] two years, how good he’s been in the cup competitions. Now they play for one position…both of them are going to play a lot of minutes.”
