Rashford continues to add to Barcelona’s attacking output

FC Barcelona ‘s victory against Eintracht Frankfurt not only secured three vital points for the Blaugrana in their quest to finish among the top eight in the Champions League group stage , but the win in their return to European competition at the Camp Nou also allowed several players to improve their key statistics. This was the case for Marcus Rashford , who once again made the most of the minutes given to him by Hansi Flick , this time coming on in the second half, to provide a goal assist for his team.

The English striker, with less than five minutes on the pitch, delivered a masterful cross from the left wing, with spin, into the heart of the area for Koundé to equalize the score at one after Knauff ‘s initial goal .

Marcus Rashford’s stats
Goals: 6
Assists: 9

With this action, Rashford has assisted a teammate nine times this season ( Valencia, Getafe, Oviedo, Real Sociedad, PSG, Real Madrid, Celta (2) and Eintracht ). But that’s not all; if we add the six goals he has scored ( Newcastle (2), Sevilla, Olympiacos (2) and Elche ), the result is that Rashford has been directly or indirectly involved in fifteen of Barça’s goals this season.

These are remarkable figures considering that the striker is in his first months of adapting to the club, the team and the language, and that he is coming from a period of less than his best professional form, but in Barcelona he seems to have found a favorable environment and the proof is that, little by little, without making much noise, he is establishing himself as an important player in terms of offensive production.
