Barcelona captain Sergi Busquets has rejected criticism of Eric Garcia.

The Barca defender has struggled in the post-season internationals.

Busquets said, “Knowing Eric, he's very calm, alert, professional and the first to deliver.

"He's a great player and I suppose that is the process of being in the national team and at a top club. That's football and you have to create debates.

"We all need to improve, and him, who is very young, too."
