Can Marc Guiu play for Barca in Champions League?
Marc Guiu (17) became the star of Barça's victory over Athletic with a record-breaking goal on his LaLiga debut. With the first ball he touched, the striker unleashed Barca fans' euphoria. A dream fulfilled on a night he will remember for the rest of his life.
The striker had already been called up for the match before the break but did not play. Yesterday was different and entered with little over 10 minutes remaining to make history. "Iñigo told me that I won't be able to sleep but that I should enjoy it", the striker admitted with a smile from ear to ear after the match.
After his dazzling debut against Athletic, many people are wondering if he will be able to continue this Wednesday against Shakhtar Donetsk. And the answer is yes, even if he was not part of the B list announced by the club on September 9.
The reason is that, as the regulations state, "clubs are entitled to enter an unlimited number of players on the B List during the season, but the list must be submitted by 00:00 CET the day before a match". In other words, Barça have until 12pm on Tuesday night to sign him up, a procedure they can do online.
On September 9, the club announced the list of 27 registered players. Apart from the 19 members of the first team who are on the A list, Xavi will have 6 players from Barça Atlètic and 2 from Juvenil A: Ander Astralaga, Lamine Yamal, Ángel Alarcón, Marc Casadó, Fermín López, Aleix Garrido, Pau Cubarsí and Diego Kochen.
