Sunday 06-07-2025
Real Madrid star Fran Garcia appeared in press statements after qualifying for the semifinals of the FIFA Club World Cup, winning against Borussia Dortmund with a score of 3-2.

The player said in his remarks: "I am happy not only with the qualification and the Man of the Match award but also with the work the team has done. Now, I strive to make the most of the rest opportunity, and in three days, another battle awaits us."

He added: "I try to give my best in every match. It is true that I feel happy, I have consistency in performance, and I have the confidence of the coach and my teammates, which is always a positive thing. Whenever I go out, I try to help, and it is true that things have become more promising now. Anything I can do for the team is better."

Regarding the goal he scored: "I saw it was an attack where we had possession of the ball in the final third of the pitch. The ball came from the right side, and Gonzalo was heading towards the near post, and so was Vinny. I was on the edge of the penalty area, and I ran a bit to reach the penalty spot, and the ball went into the net. I had the chance to shoot, and it was overwhelming joy. I am not as lucky as Gonzalo, who is another young player making the most of every moment, but I am very happy to help as much as I can."

He continued: "What does Xabi ask from the full-backs? We are the link between the attack in pressing and the defenders and midfielders, so the team does not lose its shape. We have to try to organize this pressure; when one is up front, the other compensates, and if not, the opposite is true. Football nowadays requires a lot from full-backs, both offensively and defensively. It’s not just Trent, but all the full-backs at Real Madrid are fantastic and world-class. The coach shows us what he wants, and we strive to help as much as possible because it benefits us and the team."

About facing Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals: "They are performing well, but we are developing excellently. The team is working well, and there is a tough task ahead, and we must continue in this manner to reach the final of the tournament."
