Seventeen-year-old striker Marc Guiu netted the winner on his Barcelona debut just seconds after coming off the bench, but is not the archetypal graduate from La Masia
The 17-year-old netted the winner on his debut just seconds after coming off the bench, but is not the archetypal graduate from La Masiahas called him "a striker in the shadows." A former coach admitted he was "unstoppable with space." But now, Marc Guiu is a Barcelona cult hero, a 17-year-old who salvaged a result for his side within seconds of emerging into their conciousness and could yet become a crucial part of the Blaugrana set-up for years to come.
Guiu wasted little time in introducing himself to the world on Sunday. Around 23 seconds, in fact. Where Ferran Torres and Joao Felix had failed, he succeeded, darting in behind the Athletic Club defence, taking one touch, before steering his shot off the leg of Unai Simon and into the netIt was a goal that demonstrated everything Guiu is about. He is a player unlike modern La Liga strikers, an archetype that Spanish football rarely churns out. Guiu is strong, fast and direct, a physically gifted and ruthless No.9. This is not a link-up striker or false nine.
