Many people dream of playing for Barcelona. Especially the youngsters growing up at La Messia Academy, of course. Marc Guier had it too. But Abhishek was told to score with the first touch, and with that goal the team would win - he never had such a daring dream.
That's what happened to Giuy yesterday against Athletic Bilbao at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona. The 17-year-old striker gave Barcelona a goal in 33 seconds of his La Liga debut. Barca won 1-0 with Giui's goal in the 80th minute of the match.
This is Barcelona's seventh win in the league. At the end of 10 matches, Barca is in third place with 24 points, Real Madrid and Girona are in the top two places with 1 point more.
Barcelona were without Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Robert Lewandowski due to injury at home to Bilbao. However, the attack made with Joao Felix, Ferran Torres, Fermin Lopez managed to create pressure on the Bilbao defense. 10 minutes into the match, Felix's shot bounced off the bar. Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon denied him twice. Javi Hernandez's side had to wait until the 80th minute for a goal.
Just half a minute after Lopez came on as a substitute, Giuy curled the ball into the net with a right-footed shot from Felix. At 17 years and 291 days old, Guiuy is Barcelona's youngest goalscorer in La Liga this century.
"I still can't believe it," the youngster, who grew up at La Messia Academy, told eSports 3 after the match. Can't seem to breathe! It is unimaginable. All my life I tried to use the opportunity. . I can't sleep today.'
Giou has always dreamed of scoring a goal on his debut for Barcelona, a dream that I have seen many times. Almost every night. (The moment of the goal) It happened suddenly. I didn't even have time to think. My mind was telling me it could be a goal. When Felix took control of the ball, I saw that there was some space behind their defence. He gave me the ball, I scored against Unai Simon. It is an honor for me to be able to score against such a big goalkeeper.
Giui was congratulated by Barcelona coach Xavi after the match. He also got a compliment, 'I told him you will get a chance. He only got one chance, and he took advantage of it. I think he is ready to play at this stage. I am very happy for Mark. He is hardworking. To score a goal with the first touch is an extraordinary thing. I congratulated him. You can understand how he feels now. It is probably the best day of his life.
Barcelona's next match this week is against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. Next Saturday is the first El Clasico of the league against Real Madrid.
