Marcus McGuane became the first Englishman to play for Barcelona's first team since Gary Lineker on Wednesday. 

McGuane, 19, came on as a substitute in the second half of the Catalan Super Cup win against Espanyol in Lleida, with Barça winning after a penalty shootout. 

The Barça B midfielder, signed from Arsenal in January, came on for the final 15 minutes, replacing Carles Aleña. 

He has made four appearances for Gerard Lopez's Barça B team so far since signing from Arsenal, who he had played for since he was six. 

 

After a goalless draw, Jasper Cillessen saved Jurado's spot kick as Barça clinched the trophy 4-2 in the shootout.
