🎙️| Joan Garcia in his farewell message…
🗣️: "Today, I hang up my gloves at the club that’s been home since I was 15. Over the years, I've worked every day to grow—not just as a goalkeeper, but as a person. Always with humility, hard work, and the pride of defending the RCD Espanyol badge.
I’ve left everything on the pitch to help the team, to represent this crest with full commitment, and to honor what it means to wear this shirt. I understand this decision may be tough to accept for some. I'm not asking for full understanding, but I do want you to know it’s a decision I’ve taken with great care—thinking not just about my career, but also about what’s best for the club, my family, and myself. This isn’t a final whistle, but the end of a chapter—one that’s shaped who I am today.
You made me feel like part of something bigger. I leave with a full heart, knowing this journey has had both amazing wins and tough defeats—but each moment helped me grow. I’ve worn these colors with everything I’ve got, and that will always be my pride.
Now it’s time for a new challenge—one I face with excitement, but also deep respect for everything I’m leaving behind. Thank you for everything. Until next time."
