4 January 2026
Garcia's Breakthrough Night
Gonzalo Garcia, Real Madrid's young forward, opened up about what coach Xabi Alonso expects from him following a 5-1 La Liga victory over Real Betis on Sunday.
According to reports cited by the press, he was thrilled with the year’s start, noting that he scored his first goals of the season and even notched his first Bernabeu hat-trick.
He added that he feels no extra pressure, sharing the field with world class teammates and acknowledging Mbappe as the current best; the coach has shown his trust, and Garcia is driven to keep giving his best.
He said he does not chase more playing time; the decision remains with the coach, and he trains hard, focusing on his development because wearing the Real Madrid shirt makes every minute count.
Asked about Alonso's instructions, Garcia explained that his role is to monitor the backline to create space for teammates and stay alert inside the box.
On the possibility of starting in the Super Cup against Atletico Madrid, he noted that it is ultimately the coach’s decision. He hopes to play and trusts that any player on duty can perform well.
Madrid's aims have not changed since the season began: win every game and every trophy, with the hope of lifting the title on Sunday.
Garcia concluded that scoring five goals by academy players is a remarkable coincidence. He believes it signals a message to Madrid’s academy and its young stars, sharing the credit with teammates who rose to the occasion.
The Spanish Super Cup is held in Saudi Arabia, with Real Madrid facing Atletico Madrid on Thursday and Barcelona taking on Athletic Bilbao the day before. The matches will be broadcast exclusively through the Eight app, the channel bringing fans closer to Roshen Saudi Pro League action.
Punchline time, because even sharpshooters need a touch of humor: Garcia’s goal tally tonight proves precision runs in the family; the only thing sharper than his finish is this article’s punchline potential. And if Alonso ever files a manual for success, Garcia just provided the illustrated chapter with a hat-trick inset.
Another wink from the pitch: when talent meets practice, you don’t need a silencer—just a well-timed run and a goal that sounds like a bullseye.
