After Real Madrid’s victory over Leganes, president Florentino Perez visited the locker room to congratulate the players and offer his support as they approach the crucial part of the season.
While Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé were the standout performers in attack, Fran Garcia received special praise for his strong performance. The left-back made the most of the opportunity created by Ferland Mendy’s injury, and his displays this season have notably improved.
Garcia’s attacking style gives him an edge over Mendy, as he frequently joined the offensive play during the Leganes match, earning the fans’ approval. With Mendy’s availability for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal still in doubt, Garcia is expected to start in the upcoming match.
Despite his impressive performances, Garcia’s future at Real Madrid remains uncertain as the club evaluates options to strengthen the left flank. Initially, Alphonso Davies was the top target, but his injury has shifted focus to other alternatives like Theo Hernandez and Miguel Gutierrez.
