Eric Garcia has admitted leaving Barcelona this summer on loan for Girona was hard but he did it because he knew he needed to play.

The center-back has moved on after slipping down the pecking order at the Camp Nou and says he made the best decision for his career.

“Obviously it’s hard to leave Barça. It was the third season there and my team-mates were friends, but everyone has to think about their case and it was up to me to go out, enjoy, play, and that’s why I made this decision,” he said.
