Former Birmingham City midfielder Oriol Soldevila netted a stunning hat-trick for Spanish third tier side Intercity against Barcelona in Wednesday’s Copa del Rey clash.
Soldevila – who spent a year at the Midlands club without ever making a first-team appearance – sensationally netted three equalising goals for Intercity, who were only formed in 2017 and are battling relegation in the regionalised third division of Spanish football.
Barcelona eventually stumbled through the tie by winning 4-3 but were forced to play an extra 30 minutes of extra-time ahead of their testing La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid this coming weekend, with Ansu Fati netting the decisive goal.
