Hansi Flick, the head coach of the Spanish football team "Barcelona", and the leading players of the team commented on the minimal victory (1:0) over "Rayo Vallecano" in the 29th round of La Liga. The main figure of the match was Joan Garcia, who kept the goal inviolable.
Idman.Biz reports that Hansi Flick, the coach of the Catalans, did not hide his admiration for the young goalkeeper's performance.
"Look, that's why we signed Joan Garcia. Today he finished the game with zero goals conceded, and that is entirely his merit. We have a fantastic goalkeeper," said the head coach.
Team midfielder Pedri also spoke kindly of his colleague:
"Joan Garcia is incredible. He is able to make great saves and is irreplaceable in the game with his feet. Moreover, he is a wonderful person and I consider him a very close friend. It's gratifying that we are playing better in standard situations this season. We won with a goal scored after a corner kick, which is great."
Ronald Araujo, the author of the winning goal, said that the goalkeeper's performance was no longer a surprise to them:
"Joan Garcia is great. He doesn't surprise us anymore. We have already seen what you see in these matches in training."
It should be noted that Joan Garcia was transferred to Barcelona from Espanyol in the summer of 2025 for 25 million euros (50 million AZN) and quickly became one of the key figures in the team.
