Memphis Depay, a former Manchester United failure, astonished spectators on Sunday by scoring one of "the most unstoppable penalties ever."
Barcelona came back from a goal down to beat Elche 2-1, with the first goal coming from new signing Ferran Torres' instinctive close-range strike in the second half.
Depay, 28, was introduced as a replacement as Barcelona attempted to turn the pressure into points, and he was awarded a penalty for a handball by an Elche defender with less than ten minutes remaining.
With the game on the line, the forward made no mistake from 12 yards out, slamming the ball into the net with ease.
