Barcelona academy graduate mobbed by teammates after winning goal 23 seconds into senior debut

The completely unheard of academy graduate appeared as a late roll of the dice at home against a staunch Athletic Bilbao side, and broke the deadlock just 23 seconds later.
Collecting a pass from Joao Felix, 2006-born Guiu took one touch to bring the ball into the penalty box, and another to poke it past Unai Simon for the match winner in the 80th minute.
The teenager looked absolutely stunned to have scored so soon into his debut, and fell to the ground when the referee confirmed it as the winning goal by blowing his whistle ten minutes later.
