Career & Clubs

Club career

García made his professional debut with Pumas UNAM at the age of 17, in a match against Leones Negros. During the 1990–91 season, he won the Primera División title and finished as the league’s top scorer; a feat he would repeat the following year. García joined Atlético Madrid in the summer of 1992. In his debut season in Spain, he scored 17 goals, the best debut by a Mexican player in La Liga. His second season was marked by a noticeable dip in form and growing tensions with club management, ultimately leading to his transfer to Real Sociedad. His time at San Sebastián was brief, he played 10 matches and left six months later without scoring a single goal. In January 1995, García returned to Mexico to join Club América, fulfilling a lifelong dream. In 1997, he moved to Atlante, finishing the Invierno 1997 tournament as the league’s top scorer for the third time in his career. In the final years of his playing career, Garcia played for Guadalajara and Morelia, before concluding his career with Puebla at the age of 31.

International career

For the national team, he compiled 77 caps, scoring 28 goals and played in the 1994 World Cup, scoring both Mexico goals in their first round victory versus the Republic of Ireland. He was the tournament top scorer with 3 goals in the 1995 King Fahd Cup (later renamed the Confederations Cup). He was selected to be part for the Mexico team for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, however he did not see action in the tournament. He was selected as one of 3 overage players on the Mexico Olympic team at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
