FC Barcelona goalkeeper Joan García, originally from Sallent, gave an interview after receiving the 2025 Projection Award, highlighting the global magnitude of the club and his personal satisfaction.

The player, who arrived at FC Barcelona from Espanyol just seven months ago, has confirmed his rapid adaptation, feeling comfortable both in the locker room and between the posts. At 24 years old, García is considered one of the most promising goalkeepers and imagines “staying here for many years.”

"What moves Barça, nobody else moves in the world. When you are inside, you go to any city or country... It is incredible everything it moves and the feeling you see in the fans."

Regarding his objectives, the goalkeeper expressed his desire to win the Champions League and recalled with satisfaction two key matches: the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid, his first title, and his return to the Espanyol stadium.
