Club career

Born in Melilla, Garcés joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2016, from hometown club CF Rusadir.[1] He made his unofficial debut for the first team on 22 May 2018, scoring the winner in a 3–2 defeat of Nigeria A'.[2]

On 4 July 2018, after finishing his formation, Garcés renewed his contract until 2021, being promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[3] After spending the whole pre-season with the main squad, he made his senior debut with the B's on 9 September, playing the last 27 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Unionistas de Salamanca CF.

On 14 September 2018, Garcés was named into Diego Simeone's squad ahead of a home fixture against SD Eibar, replacing injured Nikola Kalinić. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut the following day; after coming on as a second-half substitute for Rodri, he scored a last-minute equalizer to give the hosts a 1–1 home draw.[4]
