Marc Guiu has found a place at Chelsea, although mainly in the UEFA Conference League. The young striker, who previously played for Barcelona, has become a key player for coach Enzo Maresca in this competition.
However, his involvement in Chelsea’s Premier League matches has been limited, with his only appearance so far coming on matchday one.
On Thursday, Guiu made a big impact by scoring his first hat trick for the club. Chelsea triumphed 5-1 against C, extending their winning streak and remaining at the top of their group with 18 points.
A perfect performance
Guiu played a crucial role in securing the victory, scoring two goals in first-half stoppage time to make the score 2-1 and 4-1.
His first two goals were quite similar, as he took advantage of the opponent’s defensive errors to calmly pass the ball past the goalkeeper.
The third goal, which completed his hat-trick, was a very well executed header, demonstrating his aerial ability. With this performance, Guiu has scored six goals in as many Conference League games, demonstrating his consistency in the competition.
Joe Cole’s opinion on Barcelona’s mistake
After his impressive treble, there has been growing discussion in England over why Barcelona decided to let him go.
Former Chelsea player Joe Cole shared his opinion and expressed his belief that Barcelona made a mistake by not retaining the young striker.
“This boy, in two years, could be the starting nine. “I think Barcelona made a mistake.” he said quoted by SPORT.
He compared Guiu to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, suggesting Guiu could become the starting number nine in just a couple of years.
“My thought about Guiu is: how could Barcelona let him go? “I compared him to Suárez and I received a lot of criticism for that.” he added.
This opinion sparked some debate, but certainly highlights the potential Guiu has shown since moving to Chelsea. Without a doubt, his performances in European competitions are attracting the attention of both fans and analysts.
