For Joan García, these past few days have been a whirlwind of emotions from the uncertainty of official paperwork to the thrill of finally stepping onto the pitch.
Speaking to reporters after the match, García revealed that the club had reassured him about his situation.
“The club assured me my registration will be completed soon and without any problems that gave me peace of mind to just focus on football,” he said with a calm but grateful tone.
It was a relief that allowed him to channel all his energy into preparing for his chance to play. And when that moment finally came, García couldn’t help but imagine what it would feel like to debut under the lights of the Camp Nou.
“Of course, I was eager to play. We all dreamed of making that moment happen at the Camp Nou, but even without it, the atmosphere was something special,” he admitted.
Instead, the setting was a packed stadium elsewhere, and the fans draped in blaugrana colors, waving scarves, and chanting in unison made sure it felt every bit like home.
“The stands were packed, the fans were incredible, and I couldn’t be happier to share that experience with them,” García continued, his smile as wide as the pitch he had just played on.
For him, this was more than a game it was a taste of belonging, a signal that his journey in the Barcelona shirt is only just beginning.
