Rashford's Aston Villa were recently eliminated from the Champions League after a 5-4 aggregate defeat against PSG. In that match, the English striker started as a central forward and contributed one assist for Ezri Konsa's goal.
Although he didn't score directly, Rashford still proved to be a major threat to PSG's defense. Former player Sturridge praised Rashford's performance.
"Before joining, fans thought Rashford wasn't the same player he used to be, and Ruben Amorim was right (when he dropped Rashford). But Rashford proved them wrong. He chose to go to Aston Villa and overturned all predictions. As a footballer, sometimes when a manager doesn't trust you, you have to prove yourself good enough," Sturridge analyzed.

Rashford made his mark against PSG. |
Against PSG, Rashford created four scoring opportunities and successfully completed four dribbles. The English striker nearly scored if his shot into the top corner hadn't been saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma. Rashford's dribbling and acceleration repeatedly caused problems for the Ligue 1 club's defense.
This isn't the first time Rashford has caused problems for PSG. He previously scored a penalty against the French club in the 90+4th minute away from home in the Champions League in 2019. That goal helped MU advance, while PSG suffered a bitter elimination.
Although he couldn't help Aston Villa go far in this year's European competition, Rashford's performance proved that he is still one of the players capable of making a difference against big opponents.
