Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo highlighted the performance of defender Eric Garcia, who has become an example of the fighting spirit demanded by coach Hans Flick within Barcelona. In the match against Celta Vigo at the Balaídos Stadium, Garcia appeared wearing a protective mask just four days after suffering a broken nose against Club Brugge, affirming his determination and readiness to sacrifice for the team.

The newspaper explained that Garcia's performance in the match, which ended with Barcelona winning 4-2, embodied the maturity the player has reached since the beginning of the season, as he completed 81 passes, 38 of which were in the attacking third, and succeeded in asserting control during the second half, with a distinctive tactical performance in the right-back position, which he previously played with Girona.

The newspaper also noted that Flick has relied on Garcia in all rounds of La Liga this season, as he participated in ten starting matches between center-back and the flanks, in addition to four appearances in the Champions League, reflecting his importance and versatility within the team.

The report confirmed that the German coach greatly values Garcia's commitment and adaptability, considering him to embody the values of solidarity and commitment that he seeks to instill. The mask he wears has become a symbol of his bravery, as he won four out of seven duels, completed 63 successful passes out of 66 in the opponent's half, and regained possession of the ball three times.

Garcia's performance forced the club to expedite negotiations to renew his contract with his agent Ivan de la Peña, amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain in signing him, while Flick insists on keeping him as an unsellable player.
