Eric García is experiencing his best moment since returning to FC Barcelona, demonstrating it with solid performances and decisive goals. The 24-year-old center-back became a key figure in the recent victory against Sevilla (1-4), sealing the scoreline with a precise header. His performance has not gone unnoticed by Hansi Flick, who may grant him a more relevant role following Ronald Araújo's injury.

The La Masia-trained defender has found one of his main virtues in aerial play, evolving into an unexpected offensive resource. With his goal at the Sánchez Pizjuán, García reaffirmed his scoring ability, already tallying three goals this season. His efficiency in aerial duels has made him the team's top-scoring defender, matching Jules Koundé and surpassing Íñigo Martínez.

His goals are starting to convince Hansi Flick

Eric García's connection with goals is not coincidental. All his goals as a professional have come via headers, a striking statistic for a center-back who has refined this aspect over the years. From his first goal in the same Seville stadium in the 2022-23 season to his five goals with Girona last season, he has proven to be a specialist in the opponent's area.

The performance of the Catalan defender positions him as a reliable option for Flick, who will have to make decisions regarding his role in the team in the coming weeks. With confidence and goals, Eric García continues to send a clear message: he is ready to take on more responsibilities at Barcelona.
