Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick was quick to reveal his appreciation for the efforts of goalkeeper Joan García on Sunday.
This comes with the Spaniard fresh off another standout display.
Joan was for his part in from the off once more this evening, as Barcelona made the trip to in-form Villarreal for a crunch La Liga clash.
And en route to an eventual 2-0 Blaugrana triumph, the summer arrival in Catalunya’s capital proved himself a standout performer.
Joan was responsible for a whole host of top-class saves across the 90 minutes, preventing several certain goals for hosts Villarreal.
Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle at La Cerámica, Hansi Flick was therefore quick to lavish fresh praise on his shining no.1:
”Joan García saved us with his clean sheet! The team is tired. In defense, we haven’t had that many options either. I’m proud of my boys.”
