Eric Garcia
April 2026
Eric Garcia was sent off late in Barcelona’s 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid, leaving Barca with 10 men as they chased the goal that would have forced extra time. Atletico still progressed 3-2 on aggregate to reach their first Champions League semi-final in nine years. Garcia was dismissed after a VAR review for a last-man foul on Alexander Sorloth in the 80th minute. Barcelona had already fought back from the 2-0 first-leg deficit with early goals from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres, but Ademola Lookman’s reply for Atletico proved decisive over the tie.
