Real Madrid defender Fran Garcia expressed his admiration for the team’s standout players, emphasising the exceptional talent of stars like Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Kylian Mbappe.
According to Garcia, these players have abilities that set them apart, as though they are ‘from another planet’. His comments reflect the high regard he has for his teammates and the impressive level of skill they bring to the squad.
“Vini Jr., Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Mbappé are from another planet,” said the defender as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.
Speaking after the match against Espanyol, Garcia voiced his disappointment regarding the yellow cards handed out to three Real Madrid players for protesting against the referee’s decisions.
He felt that the punishments were too harsh, considering the situation. While acknowledging that the referee has the final say, Garcia implied that the decision to give multiple yellow cards for what he considered minor protests seemed excessive.
“In the end, the referee considered that it was an inappropriate response but he is the one who decides.

“In the end, it is feelings that the referee has to take into account and obviously giving three players a card for talking or protesting is a bit excessive,” said the defender.
Garcia also commented on Real Madrid’s performance, noting the significant improvement in their gameplay. He expressed confidence in the team, pointing out that player for player, they are arguably the best squad in the world.
“We continue with the same dynamic, trusting in the great team we have because line by line we are the best team in the world. With hard work, the results will come, and the team is gaining great sensation.”
Lastly, while reflecting on Espanyol’s strategy, Garcia observed that the opposing team adopted a more defensive approach than expected. However, he remained positive about Real Madrid’s efforts, noting that the team performed well and maintained a strong mindset.
“Espanyol came out more closed than we thought but the work was good, the feeling too. We have to keep working because things are going well.
“The teams are fresher at the start of the game but the good thing is that we got there and we have opportunities. They are coming in and they will come in the first halves,” concluded the defender.
