Trailblazing Chinese striker Wu Lei has added the mighty Barcelona, the professional Spanish football club also known as Barca, to his list of conquests.

Wu came off the bench to score a superb 88th-minute equalizer and grab his club Espanyol a 2-2 draw in a dramatic Catalan derby on January 5 Beijing time.

The goal made Wu the first Chinese player to hit the net in a competitive fixture against Barca and gave last-place Espanyol a much-needed point in its battle against La Liga relegation.

"I am so excited not only because the goal was against Barca but also because the point means a lot for our team at the moment," Wu was quoted as saying on Espanyol's website.

The goal was the 28-year-old's third in all competitions this season for Espanyol and sixth since he became the first Chinese to permanently sign for a Spanish top-flight club in a reported 2-million-euro ($2.25-million) deal from Shanghai SIPG in January 2019.
