Bruno Fernandes expresses emotional remark to Marcus Rashford following his inspiring performance at Barcelona's victory at Newcastle
Marcus Rashford made a memorable start to his Barcelona career, scoring his first goals for the Spanish giants in a thrilling 2-1 victory over Newcastle United in the Champions League.
The English striker, who had not found the back of the net before the game but was gradually improving as he adapted to his new surroundings, netted a stunning double in the second half of the match. His first goal came from a well-taken finish after a clever pass from Frenkie de Jong, while his second was a moment of pure magic, a curling effort from the edge of the box that left the Newcastle goalkeeper with no chance.
Rashford's performance was particularly impressive in the second half of the game, and it was clear that he was relishing the opportunity to reintroduce himself to the football world, including Barcelona officials and coach Thomas Tuchel.
Following the match, Rashford expressed his delight at representing Barcelona, speaking of his excitement and motivation to win. He also revealed that he has always been a huge admirer of the club and wants to win as much as possible.
Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United captain, took to social media to express his reaction to Rashford's performance, posting a video of his stunning second goal and a meme with Rashford's face on it alongside the words: "If you're not taking risks, you're doing something wrong." Alejandro Garnacho, a former United teammate of Rashford, replied with 'wow', while Jadon Sancho reacted with a fire and a clapping emoji.
Rasmus Hojlund, who recently completed a loan switch to Napoli, chimed in writing: "Well done Marcus."
Hansi Flick, the Barcelona head coach, was delighted at Rashford's performance and hinted that it was something he saw coming sooner rather than later. He commented that Rashford gives Barcelona more options to follow the match and it is great to have him. Flick also stated that Rashford's two goals will help him gain more confidence and take the next steps in his career.
Rashford's double goals were crucial for Barcelona in their Champions League campaign, as they look to challenge for the title this season. It was a dream start for the English striker and a sign of things to come for Barcelona fans.
