David Raya, the goalkeeper for Arsenal and the Spanish national team, praised the outstanding performance of Juan Garcia, Barcelona's goalkeeper, emphasizing his significant importance to the team's results this season. This comes after Garcia recently joined the national team squad under the leadership of Luis de la Fuente.

Raya said in his statements: "Juan Garcia is performing at a very high level and is one of the best goalkeepers at the moment," noting his great respect for him despite the competition between them, along with Unai Simon, for the position of the national team's main goalkeeper.

He continued: "Barcelona wouldn't be where it is now without him. He is a very important player for the team. He is a wonderful person, which is important, and he is also a great goalkeeper who deserves all the praise he receives."

He added, "If the coach decides to rely on him, we will support him from the start, because what matters most is the team's interest, not individuals," referring to the collective spirit within the Spanish national team.

Raya concluded his remarks by saying, "It would be a great honor to face Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals if that happens. They are a very well-organized team both defensively and offensively, achieving remarkable results in various competitions," praising the work of coach Hans Flick with the Catalan team.
