Barca now boast a ten-point advantage over their arch-rivals following the latest round of fixtures and following Barca's win over Leganes, the German stopper tweeted a message to his fans declaring his happiness with the result.
That wasn't all though, with the message also being acompanied by a pretty poorly photoshopped image of Ter Stegen holding ten fingers up to the camera, demonstrating the gap between Barca and Real.
"Happy Sunday! Happy with our win last night, the clean sheet and most important: mainting first place in the table! We keep going!" the Tweet read.
Real fans have been quick to criticise the German's attitude, though Barca fans no doubt feel closer the the player than ever this morning.
