Valencia defender Yarek Gasiorowski is full of pride after a special week.

Gasiorowski made his debut for Los Che in defeat at Real Madrid before hitting a hat-trick for Spain U19 in victory over Moldova.

He said, "Who would have thought that I would score three goals in one game? I had never scored a hat-trick before. My teammates were amazed that as a centre-back I scored three goals. The first was a cross from the penalty spot and a scissor-kick with my left foot. The second was practically the same, although he hit the ball with his right foot and touched the ball into an opponent.

"The third was a direct cross and a shot. I'll keep the ball which was signed by my teammates as a souvenir."

On his debut, Gasiorowski also said: "I'm fulfilling the dreams that you've longed for since you were a child, like making your debut with the first team at the club where you grew up.

"I remember that in the 50th minute, I went to warm up and it was the 90th minute and it looked like nothing was going to happen. Then, suddenly I saw that Thierry couldn't go on and Baraja told me to change quickly because he was going to come off. I've kept the shirt from that moment."
