"“No, I wasn't going to shoot because when I put that ball down I didn't see the angles, I didn't feel confident it was going to be a goal so I was going to cross,” he told BBC Sport. “But everyone was telling me to shoot and then I hyped myself up a little bit.”"
"“It was a good goal. I came here to win, so this is it. I want to win as many things as I can. This team is wonderful, is going to win so much in the future. To be part of that would be special.”"
"“I don't know. I'm not a magician but if I was I would stay at Barcelona. We will see,” he added. “Football is unpredictable but for now, I will just enjoy it, live in the moment and reassess at the end of the season and see what is possible.”"
"Rashford loan deal expires at the end of the season. It's being reported Barca want him to stay but don't want to pay the 30 million option in his contract and are hoping to secure him on a second loan."
Rashford scored Barcelona’s opener in the Clasico against Real Madrid with a free-kick that beat Thibaut Courtois. He said he originally intended to cross because he did not see the angles and did not feel confident it would be a goal. Teammates encouraged him to shoot, and he built confidence before striking. He described the goal as a good one and said he came to win and be part of a successful future for the team. He also said he does not know what happens next, noting his loan ends at season’s end. Reports indicate Barcelona want him to stay but hope to avoid paying a 30 million option by arranging another loan.
