Eric Garcia raised a few smiles with his post-match comments after Barcelona’s win over Osasuna in La Liga on Saturday.
Two goals from Raphinha secured all three points for the Catalan giants and moved then seven points clear at the top of the table ahead of Real Madrid’s game against Alaves on Sunday.
Pedri also played a starring role in the game, and Eric said that the Spain star almost always has the answer for Barca.
“We knew it was going to be a very tight game. We lacked rhythm in our passing. In the end, against these teams, if you don’t move the ball quickly, it’s tough. In the end, I’m happy with the three points,” he told the media.
“When you play before your rivals and increase your lead, you have a relaxed Sunday at home. When things get complicated, give the ball to Pedri and he solves everything.”
Pedri has now bagged assists in each of his last three La Liga games to take his tally to five for the season so far.
