Barcelona defender Martin Montoya could consider mastering another sport if soccer doesn’t work out for him.
Montoya hit an unbelievable, sport-blending trick shot Thursday at Barcelona’s practice session, kicking a soccer ball a considerable distance straight into a basketball hoop. A cameraman was on hand to witness Montoya’s epic moment and uploaded it to Instagram for our viewing pleasure.
Montoya would have found it difficult to hit that shot using his hands. That he sank it, hitting nothing but net, using his feet boggles the mind.
Montoya, 23, is by no means a star soccer player. He plays as a defender for Barcelona and rarely breaks into the La Liga (Spanish first division) leader’s star-studded lineup. However, Montoya didn’t need to thrill fans at the Camp Nou, Barcelona’s home stadium, in order to become an Internet celebrity on this particular day.
