🟡🔵 Goodbye parrot, hello Camp Nou!

❓ Can he threaten Ter Stegen?
There's no denying that Marc-André ter Stegen is one of the pillars of the current Barcelona 🛡️ . But the upcoming generational shift, injuries, and the need for rotation mean that competition in goal may intensify.
García is a new generation goalkeeper – quick, good with the ball at his feet, and very brave in his saves ⚡⚽ . Will he be able to convince Xavi and the fans? Time will tell ⏳👀
