Who is Marc Guiu?

Marc Guiu Paz is a Spanish professional footballer born on January 4, 2006, in Granollers, Barcelona, Catalonia.

He plays as a striker for Chelsea in the Premier League.

Marc’s early football journey began at Penya Barcelonista Sant Celoni, a fan club of FC Barcelona, before joining Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy in the 2013–14 season.

His development at La Masia caught the attention of the senior team, leading to his call-up for pre-season matches in June 2023.

He made his unofficial debut for Barcelona in a friendly against Vissel Kobe.

His competitive debut for Barcelona was memorable, as he scored the winning goal just 23 seconds after coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 La Liga victory over Athletic Bilbao.

This made him the youngest and fastest debutant to score for Barcelona in the league.

Following his impressive performances, Marc made his UEFA Champions League debut.

His talent and potential were recognized by Chelsea, who signed him in July 2024 for a reported €6 million fee.

Marc made his Premier League debut in August 2024 against Manchester City.

On the international stage, Marc has represented Spain at various youth levels.

What is Marc Guiu’s goal celebration?

Marc Guiu’s goal celebration has garnered significant attention due to its unique connection to the popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen.

After scoring, Marc mimics the signature move of the character Gojo Satoru by holding up two fingers on each hand.

Marc isn’t the first player with Chelsea ties to showcase an anime-inspired celebration.

Dominic Solanke, another anime enthusiast and former Chelsea player, has a celebration inspired by the character Kakashi Hatake from Naruto.

He celebrated by briefly donning an orange mask similar to Kakashi’s.

Dominic told BBC’s Football Focus: “A lot of my friends watch it, so they were pressurising me to watch it, and at first, I wasn’t really into it.

“But then I watched Naruto first, and I just couldn’t stop watching it.”

And Chelsea’s Cole Palmer also has a distinctive goal celebration, where he rubs his arms as though he’s chilly or cold.
