Who is Eric Garcia?
Eric Garcia is a 21-year-old professional footballer of Spanish origins. Eric Garcia is a defender who plays center back for La Liga team Barcelona and the Spain national team.
At the age of 17, Garcia transferred from Barcelona to the City of Manchester. He made his first appearance in the Premier League on September 21, 2019. He won the league and came second in the UEFA Champions League in his final season with the team. Garcia returned to Barcelona on a free transfer in June 2021 after his contract expired.
In 2008, Eric Garcia joined the Barça Academy. Before joining the La Masia clubs for the 2009/10 season, his Academy team was called ‘Dani Alves.’
Wearing the number 3 shirt, Garcia captained all of the sides in the youth set up in which he played. In numerous interviews, Eric Garcia has stated that his role models when he was in the Barça youth teams were Javier Mascherano and Carles Puyol.
He has a close friendship with Ansu Fati. Both players spent five seasons with the same squad, and despite being younger, the striker played in a higher age group. They will now return to fulfil their ambition of playing together in the first team of Barça. During his tenure at La Masia, Eric also played with Arnau Tenas and Sergi Rosanas of Barça B.
Despite Garcia’s appearance in the City starting XI, the blaugranes won 5-4.
He made his Manchester City first-team debut against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup on December 18, 2018, just shy of his 18th birthday.
He has already won three league cups, Community Shield, a Premier League, and the European U17 and U19 Championships with Spain at the age of 20.
He became the club’s 23rd player with the surname ‘Garcia.’ Despite being one of the most prevalent names in Spain, Barcelona hasn’t had a Garcia since Sergio and Luis in 2003/04.
Barcelona beats Sevilla 3–0
Eric Garcia scored his first senior goal, along with Raphinha being the first to score with a simple header. Furious Sevilla supporters expressed their displeasure following Sevilla’s painful defeat, which leaves them with just one point after four games. In the 64th minute, Lewandowski nearly put the game out of reach as he ran onto a feed from Dembele.
The defender praises Robert Lewandowski
In an interview with Race 1, FC Barcelona defender Eric Garcia shared his initial impression of his new teammate, Robert Lewandowski. It would be an understatement to say that the former Cityzen has already fallen victim to the Pole’s charms.
Lewandowski, who had previously done it for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, becomes the first player to score Champions League hat tricks for three separate teams.
He told Race 1 that Lewandowski has a knack for scoring goals, comparing him to Luis Suárez. He was referring to how Lewandowski used his right foot to
volley the ball into the bottom-left corner after receiving a crisp pass from Kunde. He highlighted saying that any ball he touched, is a ball that goes in.
Robert Lewandowski
Lewandowski is a professional footballer from Poland who now plays as a striker for the La Liga club Barcelona. He also serves as the captain of the Poland national football team. Lewandowski is not just regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time but also as one of the most successful players in the annals of Bundesliga history. He is recognised for his positioning, technique, and finishing. Over the course of his senior career, he has scored more than 600 goals for both club and country. He is considered by many to be among the very greatest players in the entire globe.
Lewandowski was raised in the town of Leszno in the western suburbs of Warsaw. He learned the ropes of the game while playing for the local club Partyzant Leszno as an unofficial member of the team. When he was a teenager, he signed with MKS Varsovia Warsaw in 1997 and stayed there for the next seven years. The next year, he transferred to Delta Warsaw, a club in Poland’s fourth division, and made the first squad, where he finished the season with four goals.
In the 2006–07 Polish Third Division season, Znicz Pruszków won promotion thanks in large part to Lewandowski’s 15 goals, which ranked him as the league’s top scorer.
He scored 21 goals in the next season, making him the league leader in Poland’s second highest division.
 How did Lewandowski catch Garcia’s attention?
Garcia was astounded by how much he talked on the field and how he supported his teammates. He was also captivated by how he could predict events before they occurred. Garcia also commented that players at this level can ultimately adapt anywhere.
