"Eric Garcia's growth into one of FC Barcelona's most dependable players over the past year has been nothing short of brilliant. The 25-year-old versatile star, at one point, was close to leaving the club in search of regular game-time, but manager Hansi Flick stepped in and stopped his departure. From that point on, the defender has not looked back, becoming a reliable player and delivering strong performances - be it at centre-back, right-back, or in defensive midfield."
"As such, Mundo Deportivo reports that Eric Garcia is continuing to show that he is a serious and consistent candidate to be included in the Spain squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This comes as the versatile star has now played 55 games consecutively for Barcelona, with his last absence dating as far back as March 2025, when he missed the Champions League fixture against SL Benfica. This season he has accumulated more than 2,700 minutes out of a possible 3,240."
