According to AS, pressure is quietly but steadily mounting on Luis de la Fuente to call up Joan García ahead of the upcoming UEFA-CONMEBOL Club Challenge. Barcelona have been firm in their stance, insisting the goalkeeper deserves a place in Spain’s next squad.
Reports suggest the significant pressure has not swayed De la Fuente, who remains loyal to Unai Simón. It was the Athletic Club goalkeeper who anchored Spain’s goal during qualifying and helped the team secure their place in the tournament.
Simón’s starting position is not in question. The debate is whether Joan García merits one of the two remaining goalkeeping spots, currently held by David Raya and Alex Remiro.
Either way, some believe Joan García is not suited to a backup role, making it likely better to keep the existing setup. Furthermore, the final decision will take time, with the coaching staff aiming to remain cautious. Joan García will become a Spain international sooner or later — his time just hasn’t come yet.

Right now yes,,U can only defend him now cuz u defend better than Barca at the moment, not that his better than Garcia cuz his not .
He can’t be better than someone that has back 2 back golden gloves 🧤. Our defense is good but Raya makes spectacular saves when he’s called upon. His concentration levels is 100%. Do you know how many saves of the month Raya has won in EPL. Garcia is still a rookie goal keeper he’s not entitled to be in the Spain squad. Maybe Barca should work on their defense to boost his chances. You Barca fans should relax.

Clearly this pressure from Barcelona is absolutely misplaced. It is absolutely not their responsibility to decide which player is invited to the national team and it's high time they come to that reality and shut up. Besides Garcia is still relatively younger and should be assisted to continue working hard to maintain his form and consistency. What Barcelona is doing could easily distract his attention and psyche which may affect form in the long run

Barcelona complaining that there player should be number 1 in Spanish National team, the same Barcelona fans blames the Spanish National team for using the Barcelona players alot. If they call there players, they complain, if one of there players is not called, they still complain. I don't know what Barcelona really wants

It's upto De la Fuentes......he can decide whoever he wants in his Spanish squad.....all I can say is if Garcia keeps up with his great form he will get his call up sooner or later....... excellent form never goes unnoticed

Barca should get good defenders then. Maybe it will help Garcia’s chances of going to the World Cup. Raya is clear of all Spanish goal keepers and that’s fact.
