Sergio García de la Fuente

Barcelona

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, García rose through the ranks of FC Barcelona, finding however opportunities almost non-existent in the senior squad. A frequent scorer for the reserves in the Segunda División B, he made his first-team debut on 29 October 2002, coming on as a substitute for Geovanni for the final 28 minutes of a 2–0 away win against Club Brugge KV in that season's UEFA Champions League; he made another cameo in that competition the following 19 March, in a 2–0 victory at Newcastle United in the second group phase. On 3 September 2003, García started in his La Liga debut in his first match at the Camp Nou, a 1–1 draw with Sevilla FC. On 1 March of the following year, he signed a three-year contract extension. García was loaned to Levante UD on 21 July 2004, ahead of the upcoming top-flight campaign. He scored his first goal in the competition on 3 October to complete a 2–0 win over RCD Mallorca at the Estadi Ciutat de València, ranking team top scorer as the Valencians were relegated; his last goal came on 5 May 2004 in a 3–1 away loss to Albacete Balompié, where he was sent off moments later for fighting with Santi.

Zaragoza

Garcia played all 38 matches for Real Zaragoza in 2007–08, as they were eventually relegated from the top tier. At the beginning of the following season, he was linked with a number of Premier League clubs including Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Stoke City, along with teammate Diego Milito.…

García was part of the Spain under-19 team that won the 2002 UEFA European Championship in Norway, equalising in the 3–1 win over Slovakia in their final group game in Drammen. On 22 October 2003, against the same country but at under-20 level, he netted a hat-trick in a 4–0 win in preparation for the FIFA World Youth Championship. During the tournament in the United Arab Emirates, he scored against Mali in the group and netted the only goal against Paraguay in the last 16, as the nation finished as runners-up. Without having been previously capped, García made the Spanish final squad-of-23 for UEFA Euro 2008 (which Spain went on to win) as a replacement for Barcelona's Bojan Krkić. He made his debut for the national side on 31 May 2008, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for David Silva in a 2–1 friendly win against Peru in Huelva. He made his debut on 18 June, playing for the full 90 minutes against Greece in Spain's third and final group D game in Euro 2008: in the 88th minute, he delivered a pinpoint left-footed cross for Dani Güiza to head home the 2–1 winner. García also represented Spain at all youth levels, as well as appearing frequently for the unofficial Catalan national team. On 22 December 2009, he scored the side's first goal in a 4–2 defeat of Argentina and, on 30 December 2013, he netted twice in a 4–1 victory over Cape Verde. In March 2019, he played his 16th game against Venezuela in Girona, and surpassed Sergio González as the most capped player in its…

He left the role one year later, and returned to Espanyol shortly after to sign a two-year contract with their reserves.
