"He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. We suffered, but we took the three points, and that is the message we send to LaLiga. I think he will not forget what he lived here, because he played for Espanyol, and they gave him his opportunity. Now he plays for us, and he was one of the reasons for the win. I saw him calm, as always. Focused, convinced. The great teams have the best goalkeepers, and he is one of them."
"Barcelona ran out 2-0 winners over Garcia's former side, with Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski both scoring late goals to secure the three points in the derby. But Garcia played a big part in securing the victory as he became the first Barca goalkeeper to make six saves without conceding in a Spanish top-flight game since Marc-Andre ter Stegen against Real Sociedad in November 2023."
Joan Garcia produced a composed, match-defining performance as Barcelona beat his former side Espanyol 2-0, with Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski scoring late goals. Garcia made six saves without conceding, the first Barcelona goalkeeper to do so in a LaLiga match since Marc-Andre ter Stegen in November 2023, and faced a hostile reception on his return to the RCDE Stadium. He received high praise and was described as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Barcelona have scored in 39 consecutive LaLiga games (105 goals) and sit seven points clear, while Espanyol registered 14 shots to Barcelona's 15.
