"Playing for Benfica, just like at Barça, is out of love. I have one year left on my contract; if I have to play in Saudi Arabia, I'll play; if I have to play in Europe, I'll play. It will depend on Al Hilal. When Barcelona calls, you can't refuse. I feel at home here; I've adapted very well."
Eric Garcia has established himself as one of Barcelona's key players, demonstrating excellent form throughout the season, making himself an 'omnipresent' figure in Flick's Barcelona.
"He brings a lot to the table, is carefree, has a playful wit. I'm always of the opinion that it should be based on performance - no matter if someone's 17, 18 or 25. It should also be based on character: Does he fit into the team? In that case, age doesn't matter."
