Strikes by Rashford secure victory for Barcelona against Newcastle
Marcus Rashford Shines in Barcelona Debut, Scores Twice Against Newcastle United
Marcus Rashford made a strong impression in his first Champions League game for FC Barcelona, scoring a brace in their group phase opener against Newcastle United. The English forward, currently on loan from Manchester United, showcased his skills with a pair of impressive goals at St James' Park.
Rashford's first goal came in the second half, with Jules Kounde providing the assist. The striker glided past Sandro Tonali and unleashed a fierce strike to find the back of the net. Nine minutes later, Rashford scored his second goal, this time from a powerful header after a set-piece situation.
Barcelona held firm to secure the victory, despite Anthony Gordon scoring for Newcastle United in the closing stages of the game. The goal set up a tense finale, but it was not enough to salvage a point for the English team.
Rashford's performance against Newcastle suggests a potential renaissance in his career, which has dipped in recent years. The forward, who was sidelined for Spain's La Liga side Valencia due to a groin injury, appeared motivated and excited to play for Barcelona.
Barcelona started their La Liga season with three wins from four games, and this victory against Newcastle United will undoubtedly boost their confidence as they continue their journey in the Champions League.
Before joining Barcelona this season, Rashford was on loan from Manchester United. His second goal against Newcastle was his first in the Champions League since 2021, marking a significant milestone in his career with the Spanish giants.
The English forward's impressive display against Newcastle United is sure to excite Barcelona fans and leave them eagerly anticipating his future performances in the Champions League and La Liga.
