Spanish third-tier side Villanovense held Barcelona during the first leg of their Copa del Rey tie, and had to be dreaming of the improbable heading into the business end of the tie at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.

It’s 6-1 now in Barcelona, but how about this opener? The 32-year-old back stepped up to the proverbial plate and hit a 30-yard shot that a diving José Antonio Fuentes could barely touch.

What a way to start for @FCBarcelona!!! @DaniAlvesD2 with a wonder strike. 1-0. #CopadelRey https://t.co/qwtfsSwSsY
