Lewandowski praises Rashford after match-winning assist for Barcelona
Robert Lewandowski has praised Marcus Rashford after the Manchester United forward helped Barcelona secure a 2-1 victory over Osasuna. The Polish striker scored from a Rashford cross, then spoke highly of the Englishman’s skills and character in a post-match interview. Meanwhile, speculation continues about Rashford’s possible move to the Spanish club next season.
Barcelona beat Osasuna with a late winner from Lewandowski, set up by Rashford’s precise cross. The Polish forward later highlighted the 26-year-old’s crossing ability, calling it a key factor in the match. In an interview with Sky Sports, he also described Rashford as a ‘very nice guy’ with ‘huge potential’.
Rashford has enjoyed a strong season, contributing seven goals and seven assists in the league so far. His performances have drawn interest from Barcelona, who reportedly included a £30 million clause in their deal with Manchester United to sign him at the end of the campaign. The Catalan side currently sit 14 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, though their rivals have a game in hand. Lewandowski’s own future at the club remains uncertain, and his potential exit could open the door for Rashford’s arrival. For now, however, the English forward’s next steps remain undecided.
Barcelona’s interest in Rashford is clear, with a transfer clause already in place. His impact in the Osasuna match and Lewandowski’s praise have only added to the speculation. The coming months will reveal whether the forward joins the league leaders on a permanent deal.
