The group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup has come to an end, and by the end of it, a star has emerged who was not expected to be so effective for Real Madrid. Gonzalo Garcia, who scored Real Madrid's first goal in the FIFA Club World Cup against Al Hilal, has made his mark in all three games with the team in a positive way.

With Kylian Mbappe sidelined due to illness, Spanish coach Xabi Alonso turned to Real Madrid academy graduate Gonzalo Garcia to make up for the French star's absence from the squad and he made a good impression on everyone.

Gonzalo Garcia's performance may upset some other stars

According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the young Spaniard's performance is expected to put some pressure on some other players, especially in the attacking line, including Brazilian youngster Endrick, whom Xabi Alonso has not relied on so far.

While the Brazilian is also recovering from injury, the Spaniard has decided to take the opportunity to show what he can do for the team at a time when they need him the most and has shown his ability to put pressure on opposing defenders and pose a real threat by penetrating the defence.
