García is the new "gem" of Castilla. |
" The world is not ready for Gonzalo Garcia's talent", commented El Pais . "From obscurity, the young striker from La Fabrica's academy has caught everyone's attention". On the morning of June 27, Gonzalo Garcia scored a superb chip to seal a 3-0 victory for Real Madrid against Red Bull Salzburg at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
That goal summed up all the qualities Garcia possesses: composure, speed, individual technique and an excellent finishing ability in front of the opponent's goal. When was the last time Real Madrid's famous academy produced a striker with such exquisite finishing ability as Garcia? Probably a long time ago.
Many Real fans have begun to compare Garcia to "Lord of the Rings" Raul Gonzalez, due to his similar appearance and refined playing style. At 21, Garcia is a product of La Fabrica, where he scored 12 goals in 30 appearances for Castilla in the Segunda Division in the 2024/25 season.
With a height of 1.85 m, excellent aerial ability and skillful technique, García is considered a complete striker, suitable for Alonso's tactics. "A gem that fell from the sky", Marca commented on Garcia's unexpected brilliance.

Gonzalo Garcia finished with great flair. |
Before the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, the general public did not even know who Gonzalo Garcia was. Many were surprised when Alonso let the 2004-born striker start against Al Hilal. However, in his debut for Real Madrid's first team, Garcia immediately shone with a goal against the opponent.
In the next match against Pachuca, the striker born in 2004 continued to shine with an assist, helping Real Madrid win 3-1.
With a goal against Red Bull Salzburg, Garcia had 2 goals and 1 assist in his first 3 appearances for Real's first team. It was a dream start for any player. That performance of Garcia convinced Alonso.
Real Madrid head coach is said to have decided to stop looking for a new striker. Previously, coach Alonso said that the club's decision to let Joselu leave last summer caused Real Madrid to lose a quality option in attack.
The Spanish strategist assessed that the club was in dire need of a true "number 9" striker. However, Gonzalo Garcia's direct playing style, intelligent positioning and maturity on the pitch completely won over the coaching staff and Alonso.
However, the optimists have every right to believe that Garcia is more than just a Joselu option. If he maintains this form for the 2025/26 season, the young striker from La Fabrica could even compete for a starting spot with Mbappe, Vinícius Jr. or Rodrygo. No one taxes dreams!
