July 11, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Barcelona's standout goalkeeper, Joan García, has officially received his inaugural call-up to the Spanish senior national team, a recognition long anticipated by many for his exceptional performance.

This week marks a significant milestone for the 24-year-old, whose consistent brilliance between the posts has finally earned him a place in La Roja's squad.

García was widely considered the top goalkeeper in La Liga during his tenure at Espanyol last season, and he has seamlessly continued his spectacular shot-stopping prowess since his move to Camp Nou.

Despite previous selections by Spain's head coach Luis de la Fuente favoring David Raya, Unai Simón, and Álex Remiro, García's undeniable form has now made him impossible to ignore.

His selection comes ahead of Spain's upcoming friendly matches against Serbia and Egypt, providing him with the opportunity to make his international debut.
