Xavi says Marc Guiu will continue to get opportunites at Barcelona despite Vitor Roque arrival: ‘I have a lot of faith in him’

While the arrival of Vitor Roque has created a ton of excitement for Barcelona fans, it does create the question about the role of young striker Marc Guiu, who exploded onto the scene and already has a La Liga and Champions League goal for the first team despite very limited playing time.

But Guiu hasn’t been called up in recent games, and will not be part of the squad for Sunday’s Copa del Rey clash against Barbastro. The 18-year-old will instead play for the under-19s against Celta Vigo in the Youth Cup, and his participation in the Spanish Super Cup is still up in the air.
