Joan García will receive the best possible news after the Supercopa: Cope confirms it

FC Barcelona is already in the big Supercopa final of Spain after easily beating Athletic Club. Hansi Flick's team delivered a resounding 5-0 win, with a rampant first half and a second half of absolute control. Raphinha earned the applause with a brace, but the team also celebrated another key figure: a clean sheet on a big night.

In that showcase, Joan García once again stood out in a positive way, even though the scoreline did not force him to live in a constant trench. The goalkeeper conveyed a calmness that in this type of tournament is worth as much as an impossible save, because he organizes, leads, and lowers heart rates. When a team scores five, people often forget how difficult it is to keep concentration at the back.

For weeks now, the debate about Joan García's future has been hanging in the air. At Barça they feel that they made the right choice with a bet for the present and the future. The big question mark, however, is not at Camp Nou, but in Las Rozas. Luis de la Fuente has made it clear on several occasions that his goalkeeper is Unai Simón, but recent events invite people to think about a change.

Joan García will receive the best possible news after the Supercopa: COPE confirm it

Here comes the huge news that changes the scenario completely. According to Mónica Marchante on COPE, after speaking with Luis de la Fuente's assistant, Joan García will be drafted with Spain for the big Finalissima event. It is an enormous step, because we are no longer talking about being on the radar, but about making the squad list for a match with a global spotlight.

The Finalissima is not a friendly with a nice label. FIFA has already announced that Spain and Argentina will play on March 27, 2026 in Doha in a clash that serves as an elite thermometer before the World Cup. It is a high-pressure event in which Joan García has a very strong chance of being the starter.

Joan García wants to go to the World Cup

From there, the next milestone will be making the final World Cup squad. According to AS in December, the coaching staff's idea is to go to the World Cup event with a list similar to that of the Finalissima. That's why Joan García's role against Argentina takes on special significance.

It is still early and many things can happen, but right now there are no doubts: Joan García has fully earned the right to be drafted with Spain. Unai Simón, meanwhile, will have to improve his level a great deal to create doubts in Luis de la Fuente. We will see what happens and who is chosen in the Finalissima on the upcoming March 27.
