He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 24 September of the following year, replacing Borja Iglesias late into a 3–1 home success over Levante UD.[4]

On 7 March 2022, García renewed his contract with Betis until 2025.[5]

In December 2022, García scored three times in three matches (including a brace in a 2–1 home win over SD Ponferradina), as the club remained undefeated during the entire month. He ended the campaign with 19 goals, being the division's top national scorer, and second behind Granada CF's Myrto Uzuni.
