24 - Eric García

Trust him over Arujo any day off the week.
I disagree. Araujo is overall the much better defender, simply because of his body. Garcia is neither tall, nor robust at least like Puyol was. He will always have physical disadvantages against tall and robust attackers, while Araujo is a physical beast and fast at the same time. I don't remember when Araujo ever loses a duel or a high ball.
I agree that Garcia uses his body to the maximum and is a decent defender, but he can't overcome these things.
And it's not like Garcia doesn't do mistakes. Stupid red card against Monaco which cost us the game. Even if Araujo does more mistakes than Garcia, as an overall package Araujo is clearly a few level above Garcia.
And last but not least, Garcia defends in duels way harder, uses often his hands to hold his opponent because of said physical disadvantages, which also risks penalties.

He was always fit against most of the teams in La liga.

But lets see how he does it against Inter, Bayern...and that speedy Real M attack.

As it looks now we should have Cubarsi, Inigo, Garcia and Tah for next year.

And for last spot lets see who brings more till the end od the season, Christensen or Araujo.

you don't want to see that
