"Eric Garcia has established himself as one of Barcelona's key players, demonstrating excellent form throughout the season, making himself an 'omnipresent' figure in Flick's Barcelona."
"Flick's trust in Eric has been absolute, and the defender has responded accordingly, being the most frequently used player in the squad this season."
"Garcia stands out compared to the central defenders currently selected, with the added advantage of his ability to perform in multiple roles."
Eric Garcia has had an outstanding season with FC Barcelona, improving significantly since Hansi Flick assured him of his role in January 2025. He has become a key player, comparable in importance to teammates like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Despite his excellent form as a centre-back and right-back, he was surprisingly not called up for the national team friendlies. His versatility and consistent performances make him a strong candidate for the Spanish squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
