Villarreal B find their dynamite as Albert García enjoys a golden pre-season | OneFootball

Villarreal B are energised by Albert García’s ruthless pre-season, the 22-year-old from Viladecans striking four in four to headline the summer.

His spree came against varied opposition, first Chelsea U23, then a superb brace versus CD Eldense, before closing against Intercity CF. El Periódico Mediterráneo highlights him as the standout of pre-season. Last term he totalled eight in 36, and his strong finish looked more like a springboard than an outlier.

Quick, clinical and sharp in the box, García’s instincts pre-date this summer. Villarreal moved swiftly to sign him from Europa in January 2025. His peak youth return was 26 in 26 for EF Gavà’s youth team in 2021/22.

For 2026/27 he profiles as integral to Villarreal B’s plans. His pace stretches teams and his tactical maturity belies his age, giving the staff a rare tool for the level.

If he keeps this confidence and appetite in front of goal, he will lead the reserve side’s attack and prompt the first team to track his progress closely in the months ahead.
