Former Barcelona coach Domenic Torrent says Inaki Pena is ready to step in for Barcelona.

Pena will face Rayo Vallecano, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen out injured.

Torrent coached Pena at Galatasaray and said, He is a cat, I have no doubt he will do well. He's very brave and has good timing. He is a cat in the goal.

He gave me a lot of peace of mind at Galatasaray and I even changed tactics because of his impressive ball delivery.

At Galatasaray, he had a lot of pressure, but he lived up to it when he played."
