A 17-year-old debutant, Marc Guiu, with the first ball he touched as a professional football player, gave Barcelona (3rd) a 1-0 victory at their stadium against Athletic (6th), this Sunday in the tenth matchday of the League.
The young man came on to the field in the 79th minute and in his first action, he ran into space for Joao Felix to read his run. He finished with class, almost without an angle, to write the great story of the day in Spanish football.
In the Barcelona youth categories since he was seven years old, his electric debut allows the blue and garnet team to arrive at the Clasico against Real Madrid (1st), in six days, with only one point behind their great rival and Girona (2nd), the surprising invitee at the top of the League.
The victory does not answer the questions about the form of the blue and garnet team. Hindered by injuries, up to six, including those of Robert Lewandowski, Pedri, Frenkie De Jong, and Raphinha, Xavi's team struggles to find its identity on the field.
