Fati saves Barcelona’s Copa blushes

Barcelona gave up three goals against Intercity of the third level in the Copa del Rey, but Fati's extra-time winner prevented them from crashing out of the cup early, Football Espana reports.

Former La Masia youth player Oriol Soldevila was a constant threat and bagged three wonderful goals for Intercity. The 21-year-old ran Jordi Alba ragged, being too quick and evasive for the full-back.

In the absence of Robert Lewandowski however, Fati would step up as he bagged an extra-time winner to save the blushes of Xavi and Barcelona, as they emerged 4-3 winners.

The winger reportedly told his agent Jorge Mendes that he would be willing to leave the club if the situation didn't change.
