"Marcus Rashford's latest stop on the road to redemption has led him to Barcelona and one of the elite stages in the global game. The 27-year-old England forward who lost his way at Manchester United and was brutally exiled by head coach Ruben Amorim may have finally landed on his feet on loan at Barcelona, under the expert guidance of head coach Hansi Flick."
"Rashford had hinted at what was to come in fleeting first-half moments, especially when an extravagant dummy left Kieran Trippier trailing in his wake, only to spoil his good work with a poor finish. It all changed on 58 minutes when he opened up what had been a tight encounter, getting on the end of Jules Kounde's right-wing cross to plant a firm header beyond Newcastle keeper Nick Pope's right hand."
Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona on loan and produced a dramatic resurgence by scoring twice in nine minutes during the Champions League opener against Newcastle. The 27-year-old forward had struggled at Manchester United and endured a difficult loan at Aston Villa that ended early with a hamstring injury. Rashford opened the scoring with a firm header from Jules Kounde's cross and then completed a sensational second goal from 20 yards that kissed the bar before crossing the line. The performance came under Hansi Flick's management and in front of England head coach Thomas Tuchel, reinforcing Rashford's place in the national squad.
