The English star Marcus Rashford continues to deliver a remarkable performance with FC Barcelona, having proven his quick adaptation to the team under the guidance of coach Hans Flick, where he scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists in 14 matches, making him one of the influential elements in the starting lineup despite numerous absences.

The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that Rashford's numbers confirm his effectiveness in front of the goal, as he is decisive when receiving the ball in the shooting area, needing only two touches for four of his six goals.

He also scored two goals with a single touch, and two goals after controlling the ball, while he needed four touches to set up the ball before shooting against Elche, showing great skill in his second goal against Newcastle, which came from outside the area after five precise touches.

The newspaper clarified that Rashford's performance is not limited to scoring only, but he has a significant presence in critical moments, even though he is not the type of player who maintains the continuity of the attack. Nevertheless, he has proven to be a decisive player when given space and direct opportunities.

Rashford joined Barcelona after a difficult period at Manchester United, which included a loan to Aston Villa, and came to the Catalan team to re-establish himself. Although he was not the first choice for the sports management, which prioritized Luis Diaz and Nico Williams last summer, the player gradually earned the trust of the coaching staff.

At the beginning of his journey with Barcelona, Rashford did not manage to contribute to the goals in his first three matches, as he came on as a substitute against Real Mallorca, played only one half against Levante, and spent half an hour against Rayo Vallecano. He also did not score against Getafe and Girona despite coming close with a powerful shot that hit the crossbar.

The report compares Rashford's numbers with those of former Barcelona player Joao Felix, noting that Rashford participated in 963 minutes and contributed to a goal every 87 minutes, while Felix needed 156 minutes to contribute to a goal during the same period.

With the absence of Rafinha, Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Lamine Yamal, Rashford took on the attacking responsibility and proved his value in the team's system, although it is still early to talk about purchasing his contract permanently for 30 million euros.

Rashford came to add quality and flexibility to the left flank occupied by Rafinha, alongside his ability to play on the right side or as a central striker, providing Barcelona with diverse attacking solutions, in a beginning that is described as promising and very encouraging for the English star with the Catalan team.
