Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has recently voiced his strong appreciation for the talent of Barcelona counterpart Joan García. Raya’s commendation comes as García continues his impressive efforts to secure a permanent place in Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente’s national team plans.
This month, García received his first-ever call-up to the senior Spanish squad for the March international break, a well-deserved recognition following a sensational debut season with Barcelona. Despite this, García was omitted from La Roja’s matchday squad for a friendly encounter against Serbia, currently standing behind Unai Simón, Álex Remiro, and Raya himself in the country’s goalkeeping pecking order.
However, one prominent member of this goalkeeping trio who holds no doubts about his compatriot’s abilities is David Raya. Speaking during an interview with Esport3 on Friday, Arsenal’s gifted No. 1 emphatically stated: “If it weren’t for Joan García, Barça wouldn’t be where they are…” This powerful endorsement highlights the significant impact García has already made in his burgeoning career.
