Carles Alena of Barcelona scores amazing solo goal vs. AS Roma

Carles Alena looks like he could be the next Barcelona super-starlet to roll off the assembly line.

Indeed, Alena has forced himself well and truly in the reckoning for a few more senior call-ups by virtue of scoring a spectacular solo goal in a UEFA Youth League game against Roma.

With shades of Lionel Messi's Copa Del Rey wonder goal against Athletic Bilbao at the tail end of last season, the 17-year-old La Masia graduate picked up the ball and duly set out from close to the halfway line.

He then sprinted in on goal, jinked his way around four defenders before sending a cool, calm finish past the bamboozled goalkeeper.

Cracking stuff. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
