With his composed 10th-minute strike in the 3-2 quarterfinal win over Borussia Dortmund, Garcia scored his fourth goal of the tournament, becoming the first Real Madrid player to score four in a single Club World Cup since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2016.

Among the stars competing in the FIFA Club World Cup are Inter Miami's Lionel Messi (Argentina), Bayern Munich's Harry Kane (England) and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé, all of whom are expected to star for their countries at the 2026 World Cup.
