Barcelona ace opens up on facing former side under huge pressure: 'It was a different game' | Barca Universal
"I wasn't particularly nervous against Espanyol, but it was a different game,"
"I think the season is going well, we're doing well, and we're still in all competitions, which is the important thing."

Joan Garcia received the El Corte Inglés award for Best Goalkeeper in La Liga 2024/25 after an outstanding individual campaign. He finished the league season with the highest number of saves, stopping 146 shots, and led the league in goals prevented with a figure of 7.4. He earned monthly recognition for the best save in La Liga in both February and March. A defining moment occurred during his emotional return to RCDE Stadium against Espanyol, which he approached calmly. Garcia took a penalty at the gala for amusement and maintains a preference to avoid spot-kicks in competitive play.
