"At the end of the day, that's what goalkeepers try to do, but unfortunately, today we conceded more than we would have liked. But my saves don't mean much if we don't get any points,"
"I couldn't see it clearly live, it was such a quick move. I've seen the replay and, in my opinion, it was a foul. Jules got to the ball first. It was a foul,"
"Maybe you don't see it at first glance on the pitch, as was the case for me. But what's surprising is that it wasn't reviewed, that VAR wasn't even called upon so that it could be seen clearly on a screen,"
"It's something we need to improve on. We're conceding too much and too easily. We need to analyse it. We have a week off, which will give us time to work on everything we need to work on. With a cool head, we'll try to improve,"
Joan Garcia registered seven saves, his highest number in a league match this season, as Barcelona lost 2-1 away to Girona in the Catalan derby. A stunning double save while the score was level stood out and prevented a heavier defeat. Garcia was named MVP but downplayed the award, saying his saves meant little without points. He criticized the non-intervention on the move leading to Girona's second goal, calling Claudio Echeverri's contact on Jules Kounde a foul and expressing surprise VAR was not used. Garcia also highlighted recurring defensive issues, especially on the road, and called for analysis and improvement during the upcoming week off.
