"Joan Garcia has won the Zamora Trophy in his first season at Barcelona after signing for the club last summer from local rivals Espanyol. The stopper has proven to be an excellent addition to the squad and his performances have seen him rewarded with the prestigious individual award. The Zamora Trophy is handed out to the goalkeeper with the lowest "goals-to-games" ratio. Garcia finishes the season having conceded 21 goals in 30 games at an average of 0.7 per game."
"Garcia beat off competition from Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois and Getafe's David Soria to land the prize.

The Spain boss has already confirmed he will take three goalkeepers to the tournament this summer, with Garcia one of a host of options alongside Unai Simon, David Raya and Alex Remiro."
