Eric Garcia emphasized Barcelona's biggest issue following their 4-2 victory against Levante, stating that they "made the match harder on ourselves than it needed to be." The defender, who returned to the starting lineup after missing a Champions League game due to suspension and played with a face mask after colliding with Rodri, acknowledged that the conditions made the game challenging.
However, Garcia felt that Barcelona contributed to their own problems. He pointed to defensive mistakes as the main issue, emphasizing the need to avoid giving opponents breathing space. One such mistake involved Xavi Espart, who scored Barcelona's first goal but later made an error that allowed Levante to reduce the deficit. Garcia praised manager Hansi Flick for his confidence in the young player and highlighted Barcelona's overall good performance.
Despite the setback, Garcia stressed that the team must not rest on their laurels, given the fierce competition within the league.
