Claudio Bravo and Marc-Andre ter Stegen have both joined Barcelona this summer, but we're no closer to finding out who the club's No.1 goalkeeper will be. Bravo told reporters: "Luis Enrique hasn't told us anything. We don't know and we don't have to ask for explanations, we're there to make it hard for the coach and let him decide. The important thing is I've worked very well and been very comfortable in recent weeks, the reception from the squad has been amazing."
