Liga: for his first professional ball, Marc Guiu gave Barça victory against Bilbao

There are destinies more golden than others. That of a young 17-year-old Barcelona striker, Marc Guiu, has, in any case, started with brilliance and a brilliance of global dimension. In La Liga this Sunday, Barcelona is held to a draw at home, ten minutes from the end by Athletic Bilbao. Xavi, the Blaugrana coach, then decides to bring his young asset, Marc Guiu, into play. A child of the club who has been there since he was seven years old.

Very good pickaxe. A few seconds later, perfectly launched by Joao Felix, Marc Guiu enters the area on the left side, opens his right foot and offers the winning goal to Barça (1-0, 80th). The story delights everyone at the club. It was enough to see, in the stand of honor, the broad smile of Robert Lewandowski, the club’s Polish scorer, who stood applauding the rare exploit of his very young competitor in attack, to be convinced of this.

Not far from him, the mother of the hero of the day was also overcome by emotion and sobbing. Upon his return from the locker room, Guiu was celebrated to the extent of his achievement by his teammates who congratulated him at length. If he wants to thank them by giving them something, Guiu shouldn’t break the bank. “You have to pay for a meal, you have to pay for McDonald’s,” João Cancelo whispered to him.

The hero of the evening admits his happiness in front of such a fairy tale. “It’s unimaginable,” he breathes. I have worked my whole life, I have taken advantage of the opportunities and I think I have succeeded. I won’t sleep tonight.” Barcelona remains the only undefeated Spanish team in La Liga. 3rd, one point behind Real Madrid and Girona, it will have the opportunity next Saturday to overtake its traditional Madrid rival, which it will host for the Clasico.
