Garcia Blasts Referee Decisions, Says They Can Disallow Every Goal

Barcelona defender Eric Garcia slammed recent referee decisions, saying they can disallow every goal, after controversial losses to Atletico Madrid and Girona.

Garcia said the Catalans feel referees can disallow every goal they score, citing the controversial win for Girona and a denied goal after an eight‑minute VAR check against Atletico Madrid.

He also revealed he almost left Barcelona in January 2025, but coach Hansi Flick convinced him to stay after a match against Benfica.
