Loan watch: Michel in love with Eric Garcia after Girona’s win over Barcelona

Eric Garcia was back at Barcelona on Sunday with Girona and able to play against his parent club as the Catalans didn’t add a ‘fear clause’ to his contract.

The defender, who endured plenty of criticism during his time at Barca, had a good night as Girona won 4-2 to return to the top of the table in La Liga.

Eric seemed to enjoy himself up again Joao Felix and Raphinha, who were both pretty ineffective, and the stats also show he was pretty effectrive.

The defender finished with an 85% pass success rate (completing 29 of 35 passes), won four of seven ground duels, all three aeriel contests and made four tackles.
