Alejandro Balde: Joan Garcia Among the Best Goalkeepers in the World

Barcelona's left-back Alejandro Balde praised the team's goalkeeper Joan Garcia for his performance. On Saturday, the Spanish shot-stopper played a crucial role in securing Barcelona’s 2-0 home victory over Osasuna in La Liga, keeping a clean sheet.

"I think Joan Garcia is currently one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He is still young, but he has already reached the highest level.

Having him play with us is a great joy," Balde's words were quoted by Barca Universal. For reference, Barcelona signed Joan Garcia from Espanyol for €25 million before the start of the current season.

The 24-year-old goalkeeper has played in 14 matches across all competitions for the Catalan side, conceding 14 goals and keeping 5 clean sheets. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
