Marcus Rashford confirmed why he was acquired by Barcelona, starring in the Blaugrana’s triumphant 6-1 victory over Olympiakos in Montjuic, for the league phase of the Champions League. The English striker, on loan from Manchester United, scored two goals in the second half and won the penalty from which Lamin Yamal scored, forcing the “red and whites” to their second defeat of the competition.
With that performance, Rashford moved level with Kylian Mbappe for total performances in this year’s Champions League — Real Madrid’s French superstar has five goals, while the Englishman now has four goals and two assists.
“The match against Real Madrid is one of the things I came here for. I can’t wait to play and I hope we win” said Rashford after the game, already showing his passion for the upcoming LaLiga derby.
Referring to the position he prefers to fight, he emphasized: “I like playing as a winger more, but in the end it doesn’t matter — it depends on the manager. I just want to help the team and give everything».
Rashford also spoke about his constant effort to improve: “Yes, I might have leeway. I try to improve in every match and give my best».
