Destined for Barcelona: Xavi and the 'discovery' of Marc Guiu, the new culé gem.

Were they predestined? Marc Guiu, 17, has become the sensation of FC Barcelona after his decisive goal against Athletic Club de Bilbao in the recent LaLiga match. The most surprising thing about this story is that Xavi Hernández, who gave him the opportunity in a very tense game that was tied 0-0, had already met the young player when he was just a child. The clearest evidence of this can be seen in a viralized photo that shows the Barcelona coach alongside the promising forward in 2016.

In that same year, the strategist, who at that time was still a player, attended the summer program for children and young footballers called "Campus Xavi," which takes place in Santa Maria del Collell in Catalonia. This program lasts four weeks and also provides an opportunity for Hernández to share moments with the young people who were part of this sports academy.
