""He is unbelievable. He has more potential he can show us." That was Hansi Flick's verdict on Marcus Rashford in September, before the forward's return to England for his first Champions League appearance with Barcelona. The head coach's confidence seemed to inspire Rashford. He scored his first two goals for the Catalan giants and led them to a 2-1 victory against Newcastle at St James' Park."
"Beyond the numbers, Rashford is winning the support of Barcelona fans. Some say it's too early to access his performance while others have called him a "pleasant surprise". "You can tell that little by little, he is gaining more confidence," said Alejandro, a life-long fan. "He's been giving us a lot of joy. We can see that he's really hungry to succeed, so, at the moment, all the fans and the whole team support him.""
Hansi Flick praised Marcus Rashford and suggested he has untapped potential. Rashford scored his first two goals for Barcelona to secure a 2-1 win against Newcastle at St James' Park. He joined Barcelona in July on loan from Manchester United after falling out of favour and arriving as essentially a third-choice attacking option. Barcelona targeted other forwards such as Nico Williams and Luis Diaz before signing Rashford. He made his La Liga debut as a substitute in a 3-0 win at Mallorca and has featured in ten matches, showing growing confidence and increasing fan support.
