Fans of Spanish giants Barcelona have taken to social media on Sunday evening, to reveal their frustrations with defender Eric Garcia.

‘Not good enough’

Despite their side snatching a point from the jaws of defeat at the death on Sunday night, however, as alluded to above, many of a Barcelona persuasion are unsurprisingly none too pleased on the back of the full-time whistle in Cornella.

This comes amid the widespread agreement that the club’s display simply wasn’t up to scratch, owing to a host of sub-par individual performances.

And one player to have been singled out for particularly heavy criticism comes in the form of Eric Garcia, who, after being introduced at the interval, endured a 45-minute cameo to forget…
