Eric Garcia is grateful to Flick for his strict coaching, which helped him grow.

In an interview, Barcelona defender Eric Garcia spoke about the team's achievements and expressed his gratitude for head coach Flick's strict coaching, which helped him and the players continue to grow and become better.

During the 2025/26 season, Barcelona struggled at times, but after continuous efforts and adjustments, they successfully lifted the La Liga title early with an impressive 11-game winning streak at a crucial stage.

Eric Garcia, 25, said, "This league title is very significant because we won it in this way. We won all our home games, so we must cherish all of this achievement."

“We all want to win the Champions League, but the La Liga title is a reward for the team’s consistency, and that is very difficult to achieve.”

Speaking about head coach Flick, Eric Garcia said, "Apart from my season at Girona, this is the season in which I have grown the most and improved the most. The coach is very strict, demanding, and will give everything for us. This season he has given me a lot of confidence, and I have played in almost every game and played in many different positions."

“He always tries to help us, not just on the field, but off the field as well, and that is something every player will appreciate.”

In addition, Barcelona will travel to Valencia for their final La Liga match of the season.

In the last round of the league, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 3-1 at Camp Nou thanks to a brace from Rafinha and a goal from Cancelo.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said, "Thank you very much, this season has gone by very quickly. It has not been easy, it has been a tough season, more difficult than last season, and a lot has happened, and some things have not gone as we expected, and we have to adapt."

“I truly cherish everything the team has achieved, and I am very grateful for the support from the club, Deco, and Bojan. I feel fantastic here because everyone is focused on the team’s success. When this team succeeds, everyone at the club is happy, and that is the most important thing for this great club.”

Flick also said, "Thank you for the respect you have given me. I have also given you the respect you deserve. I think that is the most important thing in life. We are all ordinary people and we all make mistakes, but everything is inseparable from respect. I am really grateful for everything you have done."
