‘This was the step I had to take’ - Joan Garcia explains decision to join Barcelona

Joan Garcia is living the dream. Barcelona’s new goalkeeper still has to wait a couple of weeks to finally join his new teammates and start to train under new manager Hansi Flick, but he is more than ready to begin.

Speaking to the club’s media this week, the former Espanyol shot-stopper revealed why he chose to move to Barça and how eager he is to start training with his new team. He also welcomed the competition that currently includes Marc-André ter Stegen and Wojciech Szczesny, and is ready to prove he is good enough to earn the starting job when the season begins.
