Rashford thrives at Barca.

In the early hours of September 26th, the former Manchester United player contributed an assist to help Barca defeat Real Oviedo 3-1 in the sixth round of La Liga.

In the 90th minute, Barcelona were awarded a corner after a period of pressure. Marcus Rashford delivered a precise cross for Ronald Araujo to head home from close range, making the score 3-1 and ending any hopes of the home team getting any points.

For Rashford personally, he continued his impressive form by contributing to goals in four consecutive appearances for Barca, including two goals and three assists. Across all levels, Rashford has scored or assisted in five consecutive matches. The striker born in 1997 is gradually establishing his important role in coach Hansi Flick's plans thanks to his versatility and ability to create many game-changing moments.

Rashford has shone since leaving MU.

With 4 shots, 2 of which were on target, 80 touches, an 89% pass accuracy rate, and 1 assist, Rashford was given a 7.3 rating by Flashscore, the highest among the attacking players of the reigning La Liga champions. With a bit more luck, the former Manchester United player could have scored a spectacular long-range goal in the 22nd minute, if the home team's goalkeeper hadn't made a stunning save.

At the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere stadium, Barca launched relentless attacks but conceded the first goal after a mistake by goalkeeper Joan Garcia in the 33rd minute. Alberto Reina seized the opportunity to shoot from over 30 meters, giving the newly promoted team the opening goal.

It wasn't until the 56th minute that Barca's relentless pressure finally paid off. Eric Garcia was in the right place at the right time to tap in the rebound after Ferran Torres' shot was blocked, bringing the game back to a tie. Fourteen minutes later, Robert Lewandowski increased the score to 2-1 with a dangerous header.

In the final 15 minutes, Real Oviedo launched a strong offensive, constantly unsettling the visitors' defense. However, moments of brilliance from Rashford and Araujo helped Barca decide the match, thus maintaining their two-point lead over Real in the title race.
