Ex-La Masia Talent Soldevila Puig Scored A Hat-Trick Against Barca v Intercity

21-year-old Oriol Soldevila shocked the world with his hat-trick against Barcelona on Wednesday.

Not only he was born in Barcelona – the attacker played for Barca U18 and Barca U19 from 2018 to 2020, also having made a few appearances in the UEFA Youth League.

Soldevila joined Birmingham City's academy from Barcelona for free in 2020 – the year Jude Bellingham left them. Interestingly, the English side also let Soldevila go for free in July 2022.

His goalscoring numbers were quite impressive – 4 goals in 6 apps with Spain U16 and 2 goals in 4 apps with Spain U18.

The attacking midfielder has netted just 9 goals at a club level so far – this if we include his 4 goals for Birmingham City's U21 side. He has really had the game of his life.
