‘Unreal’ – Barcelona’s social media team hail unsung hero vs Villarreal

The social media team at La Liga champions Barcelona moved to lavish praise on a member of the club’s first-team ranks on Sunday evening.

This comes amid an outstanding individual performance to date.

The player responsible for as much? Joan García.

Shot-stopper Joan was for his part in from the off once again this evening, as Barcelona made the trip to in-form Villarreal for a crunch La Liga clash.

And whilst it is attacking pair Raphinha and Lamine Yamal who currently represent the difference-makers when it comes to the scoreline, Joan has stood out as arguably the Blaugrana’s best performer.

The summer arrival in Hansi Flick’s squad has been in nothing short of brilliant form across the 90 minutes.

Joan, despite Barca having had a man advantage for the bulk of the clash, has been called upon on a whole host of occasions.

And each and every time, the Spaniard has responded with a top-class save.

Keen to ensure that such efforts do not go overlooked, the La Liga holders’ social media team have therefore taken to ‘X’, to write simply:

‘Joan Garcia is unreal’
