Former Espanyol striker Sergio Garcia hasn't played a professional football match since 2019, but he has been signed by Montanyesa alongside his good friend Joan Verdu. Ahead of this new adventure, Garcia spoke about his new club, about Espanyol and about his admiration for Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique.
Firstly, he explained why he un-hung his boots and signed with the lower league Spanish team.
"I felt like I wanted to play again and there's no better way to do so then with my friend Joan." Garcia told Radio MARCA.
"An opportunity arose to be able to play together once more in a very welcoming team, we hope to give this club and this neighbourhood some enjoyment.
"It's not about money, it's about enjoying my football once again."
Garcia also spoke about his time and his love for Espanyol.
"I went to Espanyol on a free transfer and I was there for many years, the people loved me and I loved the club," he said.
"I don't like seeing them in this situation, but I believe that they have some good players in the team.
"The second division is long and difficult, but they have started well and I believe they have the team to bounce straight back up."
Sergio Garcia also declared his admiration for Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique.
"He [Ramos] is very competitive and he will continue in that way," he said when asked about Ramos.
"What he has shown every day is that, for me, he is the best centre-back. Pique is also a fantastic defender."
Garcia concluded by talking about the great memories of being part of the Euro 2012 team in Austria.
"Being able to live the experience I lived in Austria and win a European Championship with the national team was priceless," he said.

Agreed, I am a die hard Barca fan but Sergio Ramos is way better than Pique and I am not saying Pique is bad, He's awesome too but not as Ramos

that's the thing... we all know ramos is better, but pique isn't bad... he always gets overlooked due to comparisons with ramos, which aren't even having a base... thiago silva, boateng, pique are not talked about much... earlier, there was ferdinand and terry, now it's ramos getting praise... it's like messi and ronaldo... they both are great, but that doesn't mean others aren't good... and if others are being acknowledged, why not these defenders ? he is probably the most consistent and most complete defender after ramos the 2010s... his only downside is his pace... otherwise, he is far from being bad
