Joan Garcia: "Our team's strength is keeping the ball"

Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia returned to Spain's squad after recovering from a knee injury, discussing his role in the team's possession-based system.

Joan Garcia, Barcelona's 25-year-old goalkeeper, returned to the Spain squad after missing recent matches with a knee injury. The World Cup winner spoke to Mundo Deportivo about his recovery and his role in Barcelona's attacking football.

Garcia emphasized that he is feeling increasingly comfortable and confident following his injury layoff. He highlighted Barcelona's recent strong performances, including victories over Aston Villa in the Champions League and Atlético Madrid in La Liga, which came after disappointing losses to PSG and in El Clásico.

The goalkeeper defended Barcelona's defensive record despite criticism, arguing that defending and attacking are collective responsibilities under their possession-focused system. He acknowledged the risks involved in playing with an advanced defensive line but expressed confidence that the approach yields more positive outcomes than errors.

Garcia stated he is content with his improving form and readiness to continue contributing to the team.
