His mother burst into tears of joy while his dad triumphantly applauded – both in shock at what they had witnessed.
Guiu was brought on in the 79th minute with Barcelona in search of a winner against Athletic Bilbao.
Moments later a slick passing move put Guiu through on goal and he showed brilliant composure to find the back of the net.
The goalkeeper rushed out to close down the space available to the youngster, who could have squared to Ferran Torres for a tap-in.
But he saw his chance to fulfill a dream of scoring on his debut, and with his first touches of the match he brought the ball under control before firing past the keeper.
Barca stars Robert Lewandowski and Frenkie de Jong also cheered on from the stands – both had huge smiles on their faces in reaction to Guiu’s goal, which proved to be the winner in a 1-0 victory.
Guiu’s strike means he is the youngest player to score for Barcelona on his debut in LaLiga this century.
He described his debut as “unimaginable” and was still in shock at what he achieved when interviewed after the match.

Guiu told Esports 3: “I can’t believe it. I’m out of breath, enjoying the moment.
“This is unimaginable. I’ve been working all my life to take advantage of opportunities and it’s come to me.
“Joao Felix controlled the ball, I saw that there was space behind the defence, he gave it to me and I beat Unai Simon. It’s an honour to have scored a goal against a goalkeeper of his calibre.
