A goal for the victory! The 17-year-old academy player, Marc Guiu, from La Masia, scored the first goal of the match between Barcelona and Athletic Club in LaLiga. His goal allowed the 'Cules' to earn three points and reduce the distance with Real Madrid, the current tournament leader. Guiu made an excellent play by breaking free and finishing with a shot between the legs of the visiting goalkeeper.
The event occurred in the 80th minute. The play started on the left wing when Barcelona initiated an attack in search of victory. João Félix, the Portuguese player, played a key role in opening the way to the goal by providing a splendid pass to the 17-year-old, who was trained in La Masia, Barcelona's youth academy. The young forward received the ball in a favorable position and advanced towards the Athletic Club's penalty area.
Facing the goalkeeper, Unai Simón, Guiu executed a magnificent shot between the legs of the goalkeeper, securing the victory for the 'Cules'. With this triumph, Barcelona is in third position in the LaLiga standings, just one point behind their eternal rival, Real Madrid, who leads the tournament with 25 points.
