"Joan Garcia made the brave move from Espanyol to Barcelona in the summer, fearless of the consequences such a move brought or the competition he would face at his new club. He has, however, been aptly rewarded for all the risk he took when he signed for the club for he is now Barcelona's undisputed starting goalkeeper and even among the league's best in his department."
"Thibaut Courtois and Jan Oblak currently have conceded more goals per game than the Barcelona shot-stopper and are behind in the Zamora discussion, although there is still half a season left to play. There is, however, one condition for Garcia to be eligible for the trophy that puts him in a tricky situation. To be eligible for the Zamora trophy, a goalkeeper must have played at least 28 games in the league, and Garcia has already missed a handful through his injury last year."
Joan Garcia moved from Espanyol to Barcelona and established himself as Barcelona's undisputed starting goalkeeper. He has conceded nine goals in twelve La Liga appearances, averaging 0.75 goals conceded per game while playing behind one of the highest defensive lines. Only Villarreal's Luiz Junior has a comparable record at the halfway point, with one additional game played separating them. Thibaut Courtois and Jan Oblak have conceded more goals per game to date. Eligibility for the Zamora Trophy requires at least 28 league appearances, and Garcia has missed games due to last year's injury, leaving him a maximum of four games he can miss to qualify. Barcelona's next opponent will be Espanyol.
