When Marc Guiu scored the team’s first goal in just 33 seconds, everyone at Barcelona was shocked.

Robert Lewandowski hurt his ankle, so he has been working with the first team every day. He has shown everyone at the club what he can do. On January 6, 2019, he will turn 18.

He isn’t very good at dropping deep and running the gaps like most Barcelona number nines are. He needs to be on the shoulder of the last player and wait for the right pass. On Sunday night, he did that. During his run, he hit at the right time to stay onside. Then he moved his body apart, touched the ball once, and put it past Unai Simon, who is Spain’s best goalie. They beat Athletic Bilbao, and Guiu played in his first Champions League game on Wednesday.

Barcelona doesn’t usually have a number nine like this young player because he scored so many goals with the under-18s. He quickly moved up to the club’s B-team, which is why Xavi chose him when Lewandowski got hurt. He would have a chance, according to the boss at Barcelona. The smart boss of Barcelona didn’t think it would happen so quickly and go over so well with him.

Guiu joined the team in 2013 from a youth club in Sant Celoni, which is up north of Barcelona and about an hour’s drive. He stood out when he was seven years old. He has been slowly getting better since then. In February of this year, Forrest Gump’s old team, Vissel Kobe, played a practice game against his team. It was his first time working.

Rafa Marquez, the boss of Barcelona’s B team, saw that he had scored five goals already this season. He just played him against Nastic in the third-tier league in Spain. Before the summer break, Xavi put him on his team for the game against Granada.

He’s also been seen by people all over the world because he scored eight goals in 12 games for the Under-17s. He scored four goals as an under-17 player, the same number as his good friend Lamine Yamal. On Sunday, when he scored the goal that helped Barcelona beat Athletic Club, they were both on the pitch at the same time.

The next night, Guiu played in the Champions League for the first time. He replaced Joao Felix in the 75th minute, and they went on to beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1. 

Barcelona likes that he always tries to learn from players with more experience. Since he was given the chance to work with the first team, center-back Ronald Araujo has taken him under his wing. After the game, his dad, Manel, told him, “I’m the happiest man in the stadium.” “In a million years, we never thought this would happen.” It made his mom, his sister, and me cry. 

“Eleven years of hard work have brought us to this point.” He’s been really good at his job. When he gets home, I’ll give him a hug and tell him to keep it up.

There won’t be any more changes. 47,000 people were watching him on Instagram before he came off the bench at the Lluis Companys Stadium. He now has over $900,000 in cash. 

He used to play defence for Barcelona and Spain, and Gaizka Mendieta, who was watching the game on TV, said, “He won’t sleep tonight.”
