How the fuck is this a mistake?
Sometimes the keeper knows he can't reach the ball. It may look stupid, but it can also save some energy not to jump after each impossible ball to look good. But in any case, the club made a strategic decision to bet on Garcia now, because it was either now or never, as half the PL would have gladly paid his release clause this summer.At least he dived there and got a touch. More problematic are the situations where he freezes and watches the ball go in.

MAtS is sadly too injury prone lately and had now several difficult knee injuries, so I understand the strategic decision. Especially with 25m fee, it's on the lower end of today's GK prices.

I disagree with this. The reflex to dive for the ball is quicker for a top keeper than his estimation wether he can reach it or not. That's why you see keepers instinctively diving for shots that go in by a mile. It's just a very quick reflex that some have and some don't.
Yet you would save it with your regular workout sessions at the gym.the shot from mbappe was very powerful, cant blame him for that
