PROFILE
Rafael Benitez secured the exciting capture of Luis Garcia from Barcelona in August
2004 and he had a good first season finishing as joint top scorer with 13 goals.
Garcia scored some vital goals in the Champions League and hit five as Liverpool
won a fifth European Cup. He scored one of the goals of the season with a magnificent
strike against Juventus in the 2-1 win at Anfield.
Garcia, who can play right or left wing, just off the striker and as a main
striker, is no stranger to Rafael Benitez having played under the Reds boss at Tenerife.
He is an exciting talent who can beat defenders, set up goals as well as score them
and Rafael Benitez has certainly pulled off a coup to bring him to Anfield.
Luis Garcia came up through the youth ranks at FC Barcelona youth teams and spent
two season's as a regular in the reserves team from 1997 to 1999.
He then had a spell with Valladolid who loaned him out to Toledo, before another
loan spell with Tenerife under Rafael Benitez, where he made a vital contribution to their
promotion campaign, playing 40 games and scoring 16 goals.
He then returned to Valladolid before moving to Atletico de Madrid in 2002. After a
successful spell in the summer of 2002 he returned to FC Barcelona in 2003. Total LFC games/goals for
