"Aspen" published an article commenting on Juan Garcia's comeback.

"AS" stated that Juan Garcia completed a perfect comeback in the game against Athletic Bilbao. He made two good saves, saved another by intercepting a cross, and was as solid in the air as he was before his injury.

After joining Barcelona in the summer, he focused on improving his footwork and succeeded in 29 of 30 passing attempts. Two months after surgery on the medial meniscus of his left knee, it can now be said without a doubt that he is fully recovered. Coincidence or not, Barcelona have kept another clean sheet after ten games, with Szczesny guarding the goal in nine of those ten games.

All parties agree that Juan Garcia has performed impeccably during his recovery. The surgery was a success, he showed rigor and persistence, felt good from the start and could have even returned early. However, all parties involved agreed to wait for him to get back to 100 percent. Judging from his performance against Athletic Bilbao, he has indeed made a perfect recovery.

His return coincided with Unai Simon appearing in front of Biba's goal. Juan García has simply said of his rivalry with Unai Simon for the national team that "he is not a rival, he is a teammate", clearly not interested in getting involved in the controversy and probably well aware that unless something drastic changes, his moment with the national team is yet to come. This also makes sense. De la Fuente has built a goalkeeping system with Unai Simon, Raya and Remiro as the structure. Juan Garcia will patiently wait for his moment, which will most likely be after the 2026 World Cup.

In short, Flick welcomed back Juan Garcia at a critical moment of the season. Barcelona has eight games left before the Christmas offseason, and the first game is the away game against Chelsea in the Champions League. This is the perfect opportunity for Juan García to explore his limits and prove why Barcelona have bet on him in the summer.

Compared to the level he has shown so far, the club is more looking forward to the potential he has shown. The dream was that he could become the new Valdes, a goalkeeper who would protect the club's goal for ten years. From any angle, the signing of Joan Garcia is seen as a huge success for Deco, who knows that Barcelona's goalkeeping position needs an injection of vitality after Ter Stegen's slump in recent years, and now he has done so.
