Eric Garcia Forces His Way Back Into Spain’s National Team Picture
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatApp

 Eric Garcia is living one of his best moments as a Barcelona player. At just 24 years old, the academy product has become a permanent fixture in Hansi Flick’s defense. He has started all six La Liga games so far in the 2025-26 season, either as a right-back or in his natural role as a central defender.

This consistency has placed him in the spotlight once again, and his performances are strong enough to put him back in contention for the Spain national team. Luis de la Fuente will soon announce the squad for the October qualifiers against Georgia and Bulgaria, and Garcia could feature for the first time with the senior team since 2022.

From Olympic Gold to Barça Leadership

Although Eric has not been a regular for Spain in recent years, he was a key player under Santi Denia in the Olympic team that won gold in Paris 2024. De la Fuente knows him well and has kept him on the radar. With his current form at Barcelona, the timing may finally be right for a senior recall.

Key Role Under Hansi Flick

Flick’s trust has been crucial in Garcia’s resurgence. The German coach values his versatility, having used him at right-back, left-back, and even as a defensive midfielder when needed. Injuries to Alejandro Balde and the inexperience of young Jofre Torrents have forced Garcia to cover more ground, but he has delivered in every position.

Even in the Champions League opener against Newcastle, where he started on the bench, Flick brought him on in the final minutes to stabilize the defense. This shows the growing importance of Eric as a reliable option in multiple roles.

Goals Add to His Value

Against Oviedo, Eric went beyond his defensive duties by scoring the equalizer that sparked Barcelona’s comeback in a 3-1 win. Known since his academy days for his aerial ability, he scored five goals last season and already has one this campaign. For a defender, those numbers significantly boost his profile.

A Return to the Top

Eric’s story is one of resilience. After struggling during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 campaigns, he rediscovered his confidence on loan at Girona in 2023-24. Flick then gave him a second chance, and Garcia has since transformed into one of the team’s most consistent performers. His maturity, leadership, and tactical intelligence are paying off.

With Luis de la Fuente set to reveal Spain’s squad soon, Eric Garcia has every reason to believe he will be called up. His consistency at Barcelona, combined with his versatility and growing confidence, make him a strong candidate. After years of ups and downs, the Barça defender may finally be ready to shine both at club and international level.
