ERIC GARCÍA: The Transformation Nobody Expected at Barcelona 😱

Eric García’s journey at Barcelona is one of the most underrated transformation stories in modern football.

Once considered surplus, nearly sold, and constantly questioned, Eric García has reinvented himself under Hansi Flick and become one of the most important players in this Barcelona team. From political chaos around his return, a career-defining loan at Girona, to blocking transfers and winning Flick’s trust — this is the full story of how Eric García changed everything.

– The political drama around his signing
– His rebirth at Girona and why Flick blocked his exit

  1. Got to be honest I was hating on Eric. But he proved me wrong. Eric playing the defensive midfield role is a good thing. Image if Barcelona can create more plays in open plays for eric, Lewi and kounde to attack the box for crosses.

  2. I don't need to watch everything cos everything you said was just correct except seeing him as our new Sergio Roberto.
    I believe that when a coach who can manage a player comes, not all players that were performing below the belt would be put up for sale.
    Eric, Gerard Martin, Ferran Torres, they were players who were not wanted by the fans but Flick believed in them. He gave time and encouragement to succeed and they did.

    I just Inigo didn't leave. The pair of Inigo and Cubarsi was just perfect.
    Eric Gracia, keep making us proud. 💙❤️💙❤️

  3. His counter pressure is so good
    Off the ball he is definelty better than frenkei glad we can use them both accordingly unfortunately he couldnt cook against chelsea but he will improve

  4. Agree with all you said about Eric, however, his footballing individuality will be sacrificed if he is always used like now. Is he supposed to be S. Roberto number 2? Maybe that's why Eric is not called to play for the national team. What a pity, indeed.

  5. I love him as a player but i hate him when he is playing as CB. He is that type of player like Adriano or Sergi Roberto, not the best but he will always play on high level. I only hope that he will play as CB only when there is no another option. Maybe he will improve as CB because he is young but i still like him more as DM, RB or LB.
