"My memory of Eric is very good, he is one of the players you remember with respect because he is one of the players who has taught us coaches what it is to be a footballer of La Masia. His ball output, his way of playing is total Barça DNA,"
"In terms of the idea of play, in terms of behavior, in the way he has of being a base player, Eric is an example. He is one of the most respected footballers at La Masia not only by his teammates but by other generations. He is an example,"
"Eric is an example to follow both as a player and as a person. Now that it's so fashionable to talk about footballers' environments, I want to say that theirs is fantastic. On a family level and his agent Peña have led Eric's career in a fantastic way,"
Eric Garcia progressed from a peripheral player under Xavi to a Barcelona first-team regular, covering centre-back, right-back, left-back and defensive midfield roles while accumulating more than 2,000 minutes this season. Franc Artiga, who coached Eric at La Masia's Cadete A, praised his ball output, style of play and description as ‘total Barça DNA.’ Artiga highlighted Eric's exemplary behavior, leadership and the respect he commands across generations at La Masia. Artiga attributed part of Eric's success to a strong personal environment, crediting his family and agent Iván de la Peña. Eric's pathway included a move to Manchester City, a return to Barcelona and a loan spell at Girona.
