Marcus Rashford makes late impact in Barcelona’s 7-3 win over FC Seoul

Barcelona put on an emphatic display in a 10-goal thriller against FC Seoul, with Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres both scoring braces.

Rashford entered the match at half-time, replacing Raphinha, and caught the attention of United supporters.

The Manchester United loanee secured his first goal involvement by assisting Torres’s seventh goal for Barcelona in the closing minutes of the game.

The assist added to a solid performance, as Rashford posted impressive numbers throughout the second half. He finished with an 88% pass accuracy, two shots on target, three successful dribbles and five touches inside the penalty area.

Marcus Rashford is fighting for a starting spot at Barcelona

Rashford has only come off the bench so far, but he’ll be hoping to break into Hansi Flick’s starting XI as the season goes on.

There’s plenty of competition for places with Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Torres and Raphinha all fighting for minutes up front.

The Spanish media have spoken positively about Rashford’s early days at Barcelona, but if he wants to stay beyond his loan spell, it’s Flick and his staff he needs to convince.

The new La Liga season isn’t far away either, with Barcelona opening against Mallorca in just over two weeks. That doesn’t leave much time for Rashford to make an impression before competitive matches begin.

The club still have pre-season fixtures against Daegu and Como left on the schedule. Those matches will be important opportunities for Rashford to get more minutes under his belt before the campaign starts.
