Marc Guiu netted the winner 23 seconds into his senior debut to hand Barcelona a 1-0 home victory over Athletic Bilbao.
In a historic moment, a 17-year-old Spanish forward made his mark on the pitch for Barcelona.
He substituted fellow young talent Fermin Lopez in the 79th minute and wasted no time in leaving a lasting impression.
A Remarkable Debut
What makes this debut even more remarkable is that the young forward managed to score his first league goal for Barcelona almost immediately after stepping onto the field.
This achievement places him in a unique position in the club’s history, setting a record for the quickest league goal scored by any Barcelona player.
Barcelona’s Pursuit of Glory
This thrilling victory catapulted Barcelona back into contention, securing their third-place position in the league standings.
More importantly, it brought them within a single point of the league leaders, Real Madrid, setting the stage for an epic clash between the two powerhouses next Saturday.
Xavi’s Confidence in Young Talent
Barcelona’s manager, Xavi, shared his delight at the performance of the young forward, stating, “I told him he would have one good chance. I love seeing the faces of these kids.
They have no fear.” Xavi’s belief in nurturing young talent and giving them the opportunity to shine is clearly paying off and bodes well for Barcelona’s future.
