He also carried out one successful run out and maintained a 92% passing accuracy. He was replaced by Wojciech Szczesny in the 46th minute.

The Spanish goalkeeper was open to competing with others in his position, including Wojciech Szczesny and Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Garcia said (via Barca Universal):"I know there is competition in this team, and this is normal in a big club like Barcelona. But I think competition is healthy and makes us all better. There is always a special relationship between goalkeepers, which perhaps does not exist in other positions. The daily competition between us makes us evolve."Garcia also mentioned he would be open to the coach's decision regarding the starting spot at the goal next season, amid reports of growing tension about the same. He continued:"It’s up to the coach to decide, but I’m ready and willing to play if given the opportunity. If it were up to me, I would start training tomorrow."With Ter Stegen set to undergo back surgery, Joan Garcia appears to be in pole position to be a starter next season. Wojciech Szczesny, who renewed his contract with Barcelona this summer, is also reportedly open to a secondary role. The Spain international's performance against Vissel Kobe further strengthens his position to be the undisputed starter.
