Fran Garcia’s impressive display against Leganes didn’t go unnoticed by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who made a point to congratulate the young left-back after the hard-fought 3-2 victory.
In fact, according to a report from Defensa Central, Perez visited the Real Madrid locker room following the match, eager to express his appreciation for the team’s efforts and provide motivation for the crucial phase of the season ahead.
While attacking stars like Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe undoubtedly stole the headlines, Perez’s praise extended beyond the obvious standouts.
Appreciating Garcia
He specifically acknowledged Garcia for his contribution, recognising the left-back’s consistency and determination amid the ongoing injury absence of Ferland Mendy.
