Athletic Blbao great Jose Angel Iribar rates Unai Simon as the better goalkeeper.

Iribar accepted an award on behalf of Simon for being Spain's Goalkeeper of the Year.

He said, "Unai is superior to me by far.

"He masters facets such as being a soccer player, managing his feet, which is something that we did not have.

"Here we also have (Marc-Andre) Ter Stegen, who is a clear example of what he commands in modern football."
