Joan Garcia says he'd love to play with Lionel Messi at Barcelona

"Because of his playing style, Messi could keep playing as long as he wants. I'd love for him to come back and for me to play with him, but I don't know if that will be possible,"

"There was no need for us to talk . It's something that happens in many places, and it's a matter between a player and the club. Nobody knows the full context from both sides. In the end, it was resolved in the best possible way. It's something that happens anywhere there might be differences between the two parties, but in the end, it was sorted out,"

"Any of the three of us can play. Obviously, I'm working to be the starter . I started playing and I worked to keep doing so. Now, when I return from injury, I intend to do the same . I'll try to earn the starting spot and keep it until the end."

Joan Garcia hopes Lionel Messi returns to Barcelona and to play alongside him at Camp Nou. Messi made a midnight visit to the stadium amid ongoing renovation work and has expressed missing Barcelona. Garcia believes Messi's playing style could allow him to continue playing for a long time, while also accepting a return may not be possible. Garcia has taken over the starting goalkeeper role during his recovery and describes no conflict with Marc-André ter Stegen. Garcia says differences were resolved, that any of the three goalkeepers can play, and that he will work to keep the starting spot. Garcia is expected back after the international break against Athletic Club.
