"It is clear that Joan Garcia now ranks among the best goalkeepers in La Liga. After joining from Espanyol last summer, the goalkeeper has taken his game a step further and has become a vital player in between the sticks for Barcelona. However, despite all his performances, Garcia has yet to make his debut for the Spanish national team."
""It's not something I think about. I guess to keep working and improving day by day, to continue performing at the highest level, even better than I'm doing now. So, if I keep working humbly and giving my best in every game, good news will surely come," he said."
"Garcia's comments come at a time when Luis de la Fuente is finalising his squad for the March-end international break, where La Roja will be up against Argentina in the Finalissima - a game that could see Lionel Messi lock horns with Lamine Yamal. Spain have another friendly scheduled on March 30 against Egypt, a game where de la Fuente could think about giving Garcia his first opportunity, provided he selects him in the team."
Joan Garcia established himself among La Liga's top goalkeepers after moving from Espanyol last summer and became a key presence for Barcelona. An untimely injury at the end of last year prevented him from being considered for Spain, leaving him without a senior cap. Garcia focuses on daily improvement, humility, and consistent high-level performances and expects positive outcomes if he maintains that approach. Luis de la Fuente is finalising squads for a March international window that includes the Finalissima against Argentina and a friendly with Egypt, where Garcia could receive a first national-team call-up if selected.
