Eric Garcia notched his first Barcelona goal on Saturday in the 3-0 win at Sevilla. It was not just his first Barça goal, though, but this first of his professional career.

Garcia turned home Barça's third goal from a set play after Jules Kounde, against his former side, had turned Raphinha's cross back across goal.

The centre-back had previously scored for Spain's U17s in games against Serbia and Germany.

Unfortunately, shortly after scoring, the former Manchester City defender had to leave the pitch due to an injury, with Sergi Roberto taking his place, allowing Kounde to move to centre-back alongside Araujo.

 

Until his exit, Garcia had done well, continuing his good start to the campaign.
