He told Cadena SER: “Ronald has left on loan for a year and, if everything goes well, he will return. It’s his number, out of respect for him I didn’t want to take it.”Garcia also spoke about Barcelona’s Champions League hopes and says the team are confident after making a strong start to the season: “It’s everyone’s goal. We have a very complete squad with a lot of quality and competition. But LaLiga has to be a major objective. The Champions League sometimes comes down to coin tosses, and that has an impact.”Barcelona’s next Champions League outing is after the international break in October when Flick’s side head to PSG to face Luis Enrique’s men.
