However, the quarter-final of the Copa del Rey gave him his first big breakthrough. With the game level, he knew there was a chance to do something special.

Garcia who idolises Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo according to his own words, entered the pitch with 8 minutes remaining. He immediately had a chat with Brahim Diaz asking for crosses to be put into the box. Diaz obliged it and sent a delicious cross which Garcia turned home expertly.
