Marc Guiu has been one of the sensations in Chelsea FC’s recent games. Although he is not being one of the players with more minutes on the pitch, the 18-year-old striker is making the most of the opportunities offered by Enzo Maresca.

We refer to the data. With only 10 games played (442 minutes), Marc Guiu has scored a total of six goals for Chelsea FC. A rather striking figure if we look at the average number of goals per minutes played.
In fact, three of the goals came in the form of a hat-trick last Thursday against Irish side Shamrock Rovers at Stamford Bridge in the Conference League match, which ended with a 4-1 scoreline. It is in this competition where the Portuguese coach is giving him more minutes and where the player is showing his quality.

Marc Guiu, a player trained in La Masía:
Marc Guiu is a player trained in La Masía, the biggest factory of footballers in history. The player from Granollers arrived at FC Barcelona’s youth academy when he was just nine years old to form part of the training teams. From an early age, he showed an innate ability to score goals and an exceptional dedication to football.
The striker is characterised by his skill, speed and, above all, by knowing how to be at the right moment at the right time to score, which allows him to take advantage of every scoring opportunity he comes across. His ability to link up well with his team-mates and his aggressive approach in the box make him a constant threat to opponents.

However, it was just over a year ago that the Catalan came to the forefront of the European football scene after scoring the winning goal for FC Barcelona in a league game against Athletic Club de Bilbao within 30 seconds of coming on and on the day of his first-team debut.
Since then, several teams have turned their attention to the player, monitoring his progress. Chelsea were the most interested in the player, even signing him last summer for around £8 million.

A promising future:
From several English media, they point out that there are many possibilities that Marc Guiu leaves on loan next year in search of minutes and experience in a Premier League team. Everything will depend on the needs of the Blues and Maresca’s intentions with the youngster.
The future looks bright for Marc Guiu, who continues to work steadily to achieve new goals and establish himself as a star in European football. His story is a testament to the talent and perseverance nurtured at La Masía, and a reminder that sometimes the least expected paths can lead to great achievements.
