Oriol Soldevilla was from Barcelona.
Inter City lost 3-4 to Barcelona in the round of 32 of the Spanish Copa del Rey (King’s Cup) in the 2022-23 season held at the Estadio Jose Rico Perez in Alicante, Spain at 5 am (Korean time) on the 5th.
It was a game in which Barcelona’s strong dominance was predicted. That’s also because Barcelona, along with Real Madrid, is a team called the prestigious Spanish La Liga and one of the strongest candidates for the Copa del Rey. Intercity, on the other hand, is a team belonging to the third division of Spain.
You could tell the difference just by looking at the starting lineup. Barcelona has put forward players who can start in the league, except for Pablo Torre, born in 2003, and goalkeeper Iñaki Pena. Ronald Araujo, Sergio Busquets, Ousmane Dembele, Jordi Alba, Frank Kessie and Jules Kunde started.스포츠토토
Contrary to expectations, Intercity played an equal match against Barcelona. Of course, Barcelona took the lead in the game, but Inter City placed a lot of defense in front of the box and saved one chance coming to them with a sharp counterattack. Inter City’s counter-attacks landed several effective blows on Barcelona. Although they failed to turn the game around even once, Inter City equalized three times, holding Barcelona on their toes and taking the game into extra time.
Despite losing after extra time, Inter City deserved a round of applause. Even more so considering the difference in power. While Barcelona had substitutes such as Ansu Fati, Gabi, and Rafinha, Inter City’s substitutes were names you wouldn’t know unless you watched Inter City’s matches.
Soldevilla played a big part in Inter City being able to balance the game on three occasions. Soldevilla scored a hat-trick in the 14th, 29th and 41st minutes of the second half. Even in La Liga, there are not many players who score hat-tricks against Barcelona, but a player from the third division succeeded in doing so.
In fact, Soldevilla was from Barcelona. Soldevilla played for the Barcelona youth team from 2018 to 2020, and from 2020 moved to Birmingham City in England and spent the rest of his youth life. It was last year that Soldevilla started playing for his Inter City.
