Now it will be interesting to see him compete with young talent Joan García for starting goalkeeper spot which could be good for both players and team.
I read somewhere that the peak year for a goalkeeper is above the average players, so I guess 35 years old is still not too old to play as a goalie. I'd be worried if there's no backup or if he's the starting goalkeeper for the next season, if he's way older than that, though. I guess we can only watch whether he'll prove to us that he can still play at the highest level with minimum mistakes, because that's what has let Barca down for the last few years or so. I wonder if they'll try to secure more options by promoting a GK from their academy or signing another one.
Yes, currently Barcelona has brought in a new goalkeeper, Garcia, he is still young and his performance is also quite good. So with the arrival of Garcia, of course the competition to become the main goalkeeper in Barcelona will be a bit fierce at this time. Because with the arrival of Garcia, Barcelona now has 4 goalkeepers. Namely, Stegen, Inaki, Garcia, and also Wojciech Szczesny. So with this, the competition to win the main position in the goalkeeper position will certainly not be easy in Barcelona. Because we all know that the goalkeepers in Barcelona all have very good abilities.
But even so, I am sure that next season Barcelona will definitely give playing minutes to the 4 players, because it was proven that in the previous season the three goalkeepers were always given playing minutes or made starters. Because in my opinion Barcelona recruited a new goalkeeper not because the current goalkeeper was bad, but because Barcelona prepared everything carefully. So that when one of their goalkeepers is injured, Barcelona has many options to replace him. In addition, having many goalkeepers will also be good enough to be able to deceive the opponent. Because of course having many goalkeepers who have different characters and that is what Barcelona can use to deceive the opponent. So the point is all of this is good for Barcelona.
