Concedes Goal Against Atletico Joan Garcia made one save and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Garcia has now conceded only three goals across Barcelona's last five league matches, recording two clean sheets in that span. He made a solid save in the 52nd minute, but overall he wasn't heavily tested as Barcelona controlled most of the possession. His next challenge will come against a strong Real Betis side fighting for a Champions League spot, which should provide another significant test for Barcelona's defense. However, based on their league form, they have shown few signs of struggling this season.

Allows one in win Garcia made one save and conceded one goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over Alaves.

Impact Garcia saw Pablo Ibanez appearing unmarked at the six-yard box to beat him with less than a minute into the game but bounced back with a miraculous stop to deny what would've been a 2-1 lead for the opposition halfway through the opening frame. The goalkeeper didn't see much action during the rest of the contest and that led to another disappointing stat line for those who picked him for fantasy teams. And things won't get much easier for Garcia as his team hosts Atletico Madrid on Tuesday before visiting fifth-placed Real Betis next weekend.

Keeps clean sheet in return Garcia (knee) made two saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's 4-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.

Impact Garcia returned to the net after being sidelined for more than two months and picked up from where he left off, showing his usual safety the few times he was called into action to keep his fourth clean sheet in seven league starts this season. This is great news for Barcelona's coaching staff as Garcia appears to still be seen as the team's first choice at the net ahead of veteran Wojciech Szczesny.

Training Wednesday Garcia (knee) is back in training Wednesday, according to his club.

Impact Garcia is back from his injury in some capacity this week, as the goalie was back on grass and involved in goalie training.
