Rafa's sympathy for Garcia

Last updated : 30 April 2006 By Al Campbell
Garcia's sending off against West Ham in the league last Wednesday means he will miss the FA Cup final and Rafa Benitez says his absence will be a blow to Liverpool in the final.

"Luis is very disappointed. I said to him after the game that he had made a big mistake. You can't lose your control before important games. Maybe for the future this will be good for Luis and the rest of the players because they can see what could happen," said Benitez.
 
"It is a big blow for us as he is a player who scores goals on important occasions. He can change a game and so of course we are going to miss him in Cardiff."
