Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia has been officially registered with La Liga as the team's first-choice goalkeeper, wearing the No. 1 shirt. Garcia, who originally joined from RCD Espanyol, takes this number following Marc-Andre ter Stegen's loan move to Ajax. Last season, the registration process for Garcia was completed just before his competitive debut. This year, the club formalized his registration significantly earlier, contributing to a smoother start ahead of their season opener against Elche on August 23.
