Early life edit
Garcia was born in Barcelona, Spain, to professional footballer Carlos García, who was playing for RCD Espanyol at the time, and his Swedish-born wife Linda Nilsson.[1] When he was six months old, Garcia and his family moved to Almería. Garcia, his mother, and siblings all remained in Almería following his father's departure for Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2012.[1]
Club career edit
Almería edit
Having joined UD Almería's youth setup in 2014, Garcia was promoted to the senior side for friendlies in July 2023 by manager Vicente Moreno.[1] Though expected to largely be a part of the B side in the 2023–24 season, his performance in friendlies against VfB Stuttgart and US Lecce led to his inclusion in the first-team matchday squad.[1]
Garcia made his senior debut on 15 August, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Adri Embarba in a 1–0 win over Rayo Vallecano.[1] On 2 September, he scored his first goals of his senior career, netting twice in a 2–0 win over Celta de Vigo.[1] He scored another brace in his following game, a 3–0 away win over Villareal, and was praised for his performance.[1] He made his first start for the club on 22 September, scoring and assisting in a 2–2 draw against Valencia.[1] After scoring twice and assisting in a 4–1 win over Sevilla on 27 September, he was named La Liga Player of the Month, having notched seven goals and two assists in four games, becoming the youngest ever player to receive the award.[1]
Having netted a penalty in a 1–0 win over Girona on 21 October, he achieved a hat-trick of assists as well as scoring in a 4–1 win over Alavés on 3 November.[1] On 4 December, he assisted twice in a 2–2 draw with Granada, and later scored twice and assisted in a 3–2 win over Mallorca on 12 December.[1] On 20 December, he netted a brace in a 2–1 away win over Barcelona, becoming the youngest opposition player to score a brace at the Camp Nou.[1] For his four goals and three assists in four games in December, he was named Player of the Month once again.[1]
International career edit
Garcia is eligible to represent either Spain or Sweden internationally.[1] Having followed his father's footsteps and played for Spain's youth teams until under-18 level, he began playing for Sweden's under-19s and under-21s in 2023.[1]
