Barcelona faced Newcastle United in the UEFA Champions League tonight and are currently leading the game 2-0.
Lone Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has won two excellent goals to put his side in front of the night. England International is outstanding for Barcelona, and Manchester United fans will wonder why he let him leave.
He is now the second British to score two goals in a non-English club Champions League match against the Premier League side.
Marcus Rashford is outstanding
Meanwhile, former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin praised the Barcelona star after his incredible second goal.
Dion Dublin wrote to the BBC:
“It’s not going to stop at all. It’s incredible, Marcus Rashford. He gets a loose ball from Dan Byrne and he’s on the edge of the box, he’s 22 yards.
Rashford aims to build on today’s show
Rashford is pleased with his performance against Newcastle, and he is about to build on it in the coming weeks. He is looking to establish himself as a key player for Barcelona and secure a permanent exit from Manchester United at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Newcastle had previously had opportunities in the game, but the decision to play without a striker has proven to be extremely expensive. Eddie Howe will feel he should have started the game with record signing Nick Urtemaid.
