Marc Guiu's Mother And Sister In Tears After 17-Year-Old Scores Winning Goal Against Bilbao 34 Seconds Into Barcelona Debut

Teenager Marc Guiu scored 34 seconds into his Barcelona debut in a 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on his La Liga debut. Guiu's mother and sister were in tears.

Marc Guiu announced himself as Barcelona's latest teenage starlet by scoring in a 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.

The 17-year-old was handed his Barca debut by manager Xavi Hernandez as a substitute 79 minutes into Sunday's game at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

His first touch as a La Liga player arrived 31 seconds later when he controlled a through pass from Joao Felix.

Guiu's second touch was then a shot that beat Bilbao keeper Unai Simon and the ball entered the goal just 34 seconds after he had entered the field.

That goal made Guiu the youngest player to score in La Liga on his Barcelona debut in the 21st century.
