Supporters of La Liga giants Barcelona have on Thursday moved to heap fresh praise on a member of the club’s summer recruitment drive.
The player in question? Joan García.
Barcelona are of course currently locked in action on the continent.
In the club’s Champions League season opener, they have made the trip to England, for a showdown with Newcastle United.
The Blaugrana currently boast a narrow advantage at St. James’ Park, owing to a solitary strike on the part of Marcus Rashford.
It is another summer arrival in Hansi Flick’s squad who has taken the bulk of the plaudits across the outing thus far, though.
The leading factor behind Newcastle failing to open the scoring during the first-half on Tyneside was the brilliance of Joan García.
The Spaniard, fresh off a stellar start to life in Catalunya’s capital, conjured up a number of superb saves to hold the Magpies at bay.
And such excellence has since been fully recognised by the Barca faithful, who have widely moved to reveal their appreciation for the talents of their side’s new no.1.
