Barcelona hero Marc Guiu's journey from La Masia to La Liga

Young Spanish striker Marc Guiu, who had just made his professional debut on Sunday, gave the Catalan giants the lead in the 80th minute (1-0), breaking a frustrating deadlock in a match in which the Catalans had been denied for long periods by 'La Roja' goalkeeper Unai Simon.
Born on 4th January 2006, the youngster's career began at La Masia at the age of 7, in 2013, before quickly moving on to take his first steps in La Liga.
His presence on the Barca bench on Sunday against Bilbao is obviously linked to the rash of injuries that have plagued the Catalan club for several weeks now. Without Roberto Lewandowski, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, Sergi Roberto, Pedri and Jules Kounde, there was plenty of room for him to make his way into the first team.
In 2018, Guiu was noticed for the first time at the famous annual Liga Promises tournament, where many future 'cracks' began to shine. He was just 12 at the time.
The Barcelona hero of the moment is also already representing the colours of his country, Spain, with whom he has made 12 appearances for the Under-17s.
At the Masia, Barcelona's youth academy, there was always talk of teaming him up with another striker to make things happen, as in the wonderful combination with Joao Félix on the winning goal at the weekend.
His career has been nothing out of the ordinary, yet his talent shone through in his first 30 seconds as a professional on a top-flight pitch, earning his beloved team three vital points in the week leading up to 'El Clasico' against Real Madrid.
