VIDEO: Barbara Latorre: Gerard Pique compares Barcelona star to Lionel Messi and Ronaldo
Soccer star Barbara Latorre is the
toast of Barcelona after scoring a goal that has taken the internet by storm.
Latorre, who scored a wonder goal in
last week's women's first division city derby against Espanyol, has already
chalked up more than 345,000 views on the club's YouTube channel.
Picking up the ball in her own half,
Latorre outfoxed four defenders before being tripped up by a fifth as she
approached the penalty box.
Unfazed, she got up to beat a sixth
defender before curling the ball in the right-hand corner to grab the final
goal in Barca's 6-1 win.
Gerard Pique, one of the leading lights
in Barca's men's team, was so impressed he drew comparisons with his superstar
teammate Lionel Messi and the club's former Brazilian star Ronaldo.
"It started like Leo's goal
against Getafe and ended like Ronaldo's in Compostela," tweeted Pique,
referring to a goal Ronaldo scored 20 years ago after running past seven Compostela players.
