Despite Barcelona's loss to Real Madrid in the Clasico held at the Santiago Bernabeu, English star Marcus Rashford continued to shine as he provided his sixth assist of the season, delivering a remarkable performance that confirmed his importance in the team's system.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Rashford has become the most effective forward in Barcelona this season, contributing to 11 goals, including 5 he scored himself and 6 assists, which he distributed among five different teammates.

The newspaper pointed out that Rashford's assists came for Raphinha against Valencia, Ferran Torres against Getafe and Paris Saint-Germain, Ronald Araujo against Oviedo, Koundé against Real Sociedad, and Fermín López against Real Madrid.

At the same time, Rashford scored his five goals for Barcelona against Newcastle (two goals) and Olympiacos (two goals) in the Champions League, in addition to one goal against Sevilla in La Liga.

The newspaper added that the English player returned to play on the left wing during the Clasico after participating as a striker against Olympiacos, where he provided an accurate assist to Fermín López, who scored Barcelona's only goal.
