Barcelona defender Erik Garcia commented on Inigo Martinez's departure from the club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 34-year-old central defender was one of the key players of the "blaugrana" team under the management of Hans-Dieter Flick. In August, the Catalan club was forced to let the leader go to Saudi Arabia's "Al-Nasr" team.
As Erik Garcia emphasized, Inigo provided great support to the team not only on the field but also off it. His experience was something our young players lacked, and he had an excellent last season.
Such situations happen in football — important players leave for various reasons, but the team must continue without them. The remaining players need to show their best qualities.
We are a young team, but we are ready, and this is our responsibility, said Erik Garcia. On Sunday, Barcelona will play a home game against Valencia in La Liga.
