A heartbreaking situation has emerged for the Catalan defender.
Details: As reported by The Touchline, citing DAZN, 25-year-old Barcelona center-back Eric García received the tragic news of his father’s death just before the 30th-round match against Atlético Madrid.
García learned about the loss while on the team bus near the Metropolitano Stadium. He stepped off the bus, visibly shaken, prompting Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick to offer his support.
