😒 Villain of the night: defender sets unwanted 20-year record at Barcelona | OneFootball

The night was a true horror movie for Barcelona fans.

And Eric García may not be the only one to blame, but he certainly contributed a lot to it.

In the 4-0 thrashing suffered against Atlético de Madrid this Thursday (12th), in the semifinals of the 2025/26 Copa del Rey, the defender hit a negative milestone for the Culés not seen in two decades.

According to Opta, since at least the 2004/05 season, no Barcelona player had scored an own goal and been sent off in the same match.

Barcelona themselves had not conceded four goals before halftime since the infamous 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the 2020 Champions League quarterfinals.

The situation has certainly become very complicated for the Culés, but not impossible. After all, Barcelona are the leaders of La Liga with a 13-point advantage over the Colchoneros.
