"We will decide tomorrow if he plays from the beginning or if he comes in from the bench. But as I said, I'm happy to have him in our team. Last time when we played Newcastle, I also said this. I have followed him, I think, his whole career. I was impressed about him, with his quality, what he is doing in the box, what he is doing in front of goal."
"He has also showed it in Barcelona, which is really good. But for him, this change to live in another culture. The people in Barcelona are fantastic, we have nice weather. For me, it's amazing. You can see now he is also smiling a lot, and if he can enjoy the atmosphere we have, it is also good for him."
Marcus Rashford returned to Barcelona's squad for the Champions League match at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea after missing a recent Camp Nou game through illness. He has five direct goal involvements in four Champions League games for Barcelona this season (four goals, one assist), including a brace on his previous trip to England against Newcastle United. Only Hristo Stoichkov recorded more than five goal involvements through his first five appearances for the Catalans in the competition (eight in 1994). Manager Hansi Flick praised Rashford's quality, credited a change in culture and lifestyle for his happiness, and has yet to decide whether Rashford will start. Barcelona have scored in 24 consecutive Champions League games (67 goals), and Flick's teams have never conceded a clean sheet in 36 Champions League matches under his management.
