FC Barcelona defeated Galatasaray 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League group stage matchday two. After the match, Eric García, Barcelona defender, gave an interview to the club's official media.

On the goal conceded:

Eric: I wouldn't call it a mistake. I think they played exceptionally well. Still, I thought we played well in the first half, even though sometimes we tried to break through their defensive line a bit too much because the space looked so clear. And passing errors at times were unavoidable. Clearly, getting an equalizing goal before halftime helped us a lot. In the second half, our team's performance was flawless.

Reporter: How do you assess the second half, particularly Lamine Yamal's performance in the early stages of the second half?

Eric: It was remarkable. For a player with his quality, there's no need for extra motivation. Everyone on the team seemed to energize him even more today. He's a player who can decide matches, and he proves it every day with his actions.

Reporter: Before the match, everyone spoke about this intimidating home ground. Although you have plenty of experience playing away in various stadiums, how did you feel about this atmosphere during the tense moments of the game, considering that each player's mental state differs in such circumstances?

Eric: To be honest, it's definitely one of the most impressive home atmospheres I've ever experienced. The cheering and the noise they create is truly intimidating. You can't hear your teammates on the pitch at all, and your ears are ringing. Walking back through the tunnel at halftime felt like being transported to another country. You can feel the real pressure, and the opponent used this momentum to open the game aggressively with intense high pressing from the start. Because of this, I think our performance tonight is even more valuable because we showed incredible character and mentality.

Reporter: Last two questions. We select a player of the match for the broadcast every time, and now we want a special guest – your vote. Please give us your top three votes: three points, two points, and one point. Who would you vote for? Starting with three points?

Eric: Lamine, three points for Lamine.

Reporter: Full marks, no doubt.

Eric: For two points... hmm, you can vote for yourself? No, no, I'll give it to my teammates. Two points for Ángol and I'd like to give one point to Pau Cubarsí and Gerard, one point each.

Reporter: That sounds good. The final question will be in English. Forty-three goals in ten matches this season. Remarkable.

Eric: Yes, it's excellent, truly impressive. We've shown strong attacking power up front. But overall, coming to such a difficult away ground in European competition and getting a victory – we should be very happy.
