Liverpool's Spanish hat-trick hero Luis Garcia has described his hat-trick on Saturday night as a dream come true on his first start for the national side.
Garcia struck three times against Slovakia on Saturday night in the first leg of his country's World Cup Play Off and the Reds midfielder couldn't contain his delight after the match.

"Without a doubt it was the sort of night that every footballer dreams about," enthused Garcia. "As well as being a very important game in which a lot was at stake it was my first start for the national team and it worked out perfectly. Luis Aragones showed he had confidence in me and I'm really happy to have responded with goals. We've shown that we deserve to be in the World Cup and after what we've done I think we can be a bit more confident for the next match."
