E551: Barça's Joan García excels on Espanyol return

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1500961/open_sms] Happy New Year! The podcast returns after another Barcelona win, this time in the derby against Espanyol, with Joan García excelling on his return to the club he left in a controversial transfer last summer for €25 million. Sam, Rik and Toni discuss the goalkeeper's performance, where he stands in the list of current Spanish stoppers and his importance to this Barça side.
