Football

On September 29, in the 7th round of La Liga, Barcelona reversed Real Sociedad 2-1 at home and won five consecutive victories. Because Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2-5 in this round, Barcelona surpassed Real Madrid to top the La Liga standings with a 1-point advantage. In this game, Rashford once again made an assist and scored in four consecutive rounds of La Liga. According to statistics, Rashford has directly participated in the team's 6 goals in Barcelona, ​​ranking first in the team. In this game, Flick made a big rotation against Barcelona's frontcourt. Compared with the last round of the match against Real Oviedo, Barcelona only Rashford won consecutive starting opportunities in the frontcourt, and the other three positions have all changed. Veteran Lewandowski replaced Ferran Torres into the starter, and behind them were two young players, Valdegi and Dero Fernandez. Rashford, who started consecutively, did not disappoint Flick's trust. He assisted Conde in the 43rd minute to equalize the score.

It is worth mentioning that this is Rashford's two consecutive rounds of La Liga matches assisting his teammates in a corner kick. In the last round of the match against Real Oviedo, Rashford also assisted Araujo with a corner kick. According to statistics, including the assists in this game, Rashford has directly participated in the team's 6 goals in the last five official games he played for Barcelona, ​​of which he scored 2 goals and assisted his teammates in 4 assists.

As mentioned above, these feats later produced a surprising statistic. According to Opta data, Rashford scored 6 goals directly this season (2 goals and 4 assists), becoming the player with the most goals scored in coach Flick's lineup. Behind him are Yamal (2 goals and 3 assists), Rafinia (3 goals and 2 assists), and Ferran Torres (4 goals and 1 assist).

This summer, Barcelona unexpectedly chose to loan Rashford from Manchester United and took on all his salary during the loan period. At first, fans did not understand Barcelona's operation and believed that Rashford was the last one to help the team. But since the international match day in September, the former British Emperor star has experienced a complete explosion: he has won 6 goals in the last 5 games and is crowned the No. 1 attacker in Barcelona.

As Rashford gradually gained a foothold in Barcelona, ​​discussions about his future have also become a hot topic. Although he has three years left in his contract with Manchester United, the Barcelona loan agreement includes a buyout clause for a sum of £26.2 million (€30 million). It is reported that Barcelona has planned to buy out Rashford directly next summer.
