Luis Garcia in the last minute

One of the most morbid games we left the fourth round of the Liga was the one that faced Real Zaragoza and RCD Espanyol in La Romareda. The big attraction for locals was to see Luis Garcia was measured at the team for six seasons. On the contrary, visitors to the main hitch is formed by the mere presence of the Spaniard, the captain in his senior year parakeet, leader and member of the costumes that recall the best time in the vicinity of Cornella-El Prat, the final of the UEFA Cup against Sevilla.

The departure of Luis Garcia from Barcelona was not dreamed up by the '10 'a few years ago, when he still did not exceed thirty and season after season stood as the best player-white, and turned down several tempting offers from abroad (I am reminded some of the Benfica head, for example), for the love of colors that was like theirs. Their adaptation to Barcelona and the body was complete and as proof, he shed tears the day he fired in a very emotional press conference, precipitated by a lightning operation that led to Zaragoza.

It was striking her goodbye. Not usually leave the captain of a team, with its theoretical importance, when the lock on the market is about to close down. But his relationship with Mauricio Pochettino was not entirely pleasing to the Argentine, who preferred rid of a problem in the middle rather than focus on quality of a player who always gave everything for the shield of Espanyol. To make matters worse, his replacement was none other than Walter Pandiani, who four years ago one was also unrelated to the team and that was free, waiting for a juicy contract.

And while the Uruguayan started on the bench, Luis Garcia faced the duel starts, with a devilish desire to revenge his former team, but the technician who chose to leave after so many days of glory and suffering. And so, as the strip of amnesia at times, scored the first of the hands on the half hour. The crash, which was not precisely those that are videotaped and then show the kids, took another path and Javi Lopez, almost unwillingly, signed an equalizer on 71 '. With three minutes, defending himself caught in the area Lafita.

The release manager from the spot was none other than Luis Garcia, but this time his shot, a bombshell, was repelled by a Alvarez Cristian very successful. When fans zaragocista tuck the way home, a hanging ball into the area ended in the Spaniard's boots, this time more surprised tuned in 91 'with a goal that is worth three points of gold and also serves to send a message to Pochettino, who witnessed the bench a player who could be part of its workforce, made ​​him lose a key game. As for the transfer market in the last minute.
