A new milestone for Joan Garcia. The FC Barcelona stopper was called up for Spain for the first time for this international break and has now made his first appearance for the national team.

Coach Luis de la Fuente called on the Catalan keeper for the friendly against Egypt and he made his debut after 62 minutes, a fine reward for the great performances by the Barça number one, who is one of the reasons why Hansi Flick's side are performing so well so far season.

Joan Garcia has played 36 matches in all competitions, with 23 coming in LaLiga. In those games, the Catalan is the keeper with the best save percentage (78.75%) in the domestic league. His closest challenger is David Soria from Getafe, with 74.59% in 29 games.

Joan also has 12 clean sheets, leading the way on this metric in LaLiga alongside Atlético Madrid keeper Jan Oblak.

If we cast our eye towards Europe, the blaugrana stopper has the second best save percentage among those who have played over 10 matches. The percentage by Joan Garcia (78.75%) is only bettered by Mile Svilar at Roma, who has 78.9% in 30 Serie A games.
