Video: Barcelona's Jordi Mboula scores Messi-esque solo goal
Barcelona youngster Jordi Mboula scored a Lionel Messi-esque goal against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday.
Congo-born Mboula - who has already been capped by Spain U19s, despite only being 17 - destroyed the Dortmund defence with a stunning 360-degree spin before beating two players with a quick ‘croqueta’ on his way to scoring the sort of goal that makes opposing managers mutter about being "unplayable".
True, it was the final goal in a 4-1 victory for Barcelona’s U19s - but judging by the chops on display here, you won’t want to forget the name Mboula anytime soon.
