Marc Guiu was thrilled to prove Barcelona's natchwinner against Athletic Bilbao.

Just 33 seconds into his debut, Guiu scored the only goal of the game for the hosts.

"La Masia works. The club are doing a great job and they have to take advantage of the academy in difficult times like now", said Guiu.

"I tell the youth team to keep working, they all have a great desire to get here. I'm almost out of breath. I think I've been dreaming about this almost every night. It's a great feeling and I'm very happy.

"I can't believe it. I'm breathless. Enjoying the moment. You can't imagine this, but I've been working all my life to take advantage of the opportunities and it's come to me."

On the goal, he also said: "Joao Félix controlled the ball, I saw that there was space behind the defence, he gave it to me and I beat Unai Simon to the ball and it's an honour to have scored a goal against him. It's an honour to have scored a goal against a goalkeeper of his calibre."

Guiu also thanked Barca coach Xavi: "Xavi has told me to work hard, that the opportunities will come. He told me that I would have a chance and that's how it has been."
