In the early morning of September 19, the first round of the Champions League continued, with Barcelona challenging Newcastle away. With Rashford's goal, Barcelona struggled to take away three points from the away game.

In this game, Barcelona's starting goalkeeper was still Joan Garcia. As Barcelona's first goalkeeper this season, Joan Garcia once again performed super magically in this game.

Post-match statistics show that Joan Garcia contributed 5 saves in this game and completed 1 clearance. Newcastle shots reached 10 times in the game, of which 6 were positive, and the expected number of goals was as high as 1.46. Whether it is the number of shots or the expected number of goals, Newcastle is higher than Barcelona. But in the end, Barcelona won the game, thanks to Joan Garcia, who made Newcastle's threatening attack fail again and again. After the game, Joan Garcia scored 8.8 points from the media, which tied for the highest score in the game with Rashford, who scored twice. It can be seen how outstanding Joan Garcia performed in this game.

Joan Garcia showed his excellent interception cross, falling speed, and ball-out ability in this game, and this game is just a microcosm of his outstanding performance this season. Some fans said that they saw the shadow of the peak Casillas in Joan Garcia. I wonder if Ter Stegen can still regain the main position from Joan Garcia after he recovers from injury?
