Marcus Rashford’s career has received a significant boost under Hansi Flick at Barcelona.
The Manchester United loanee, who struggled to secure a place in Ruben Amorim’s starting XI, has found new life under the German manager.
To put things in perspective, over the past six games, Rashford has either scored or assisted, demonstrating his growing influence at the Blaugrana.
His impact was clear once again against Real Sociedad. Rashford showcased his precision from set-pieces, delivering a corner that allowed Jules Kounde to break through and score, despite goalkeeper Alex Remiro producing five impressive saves.
This goal marked Kounde’s first of the season and helped Barcelona score their 20th goal of the 2025/26 season.
Rashford’s contribution in these six consecutive matches totals three goals and four assists, giving him seven direct goal involvements.
Leadership beyond goals
Rashford’s influence extends beyond scoring and assisting. He leads in other key statistics, including passes in the opponent’s area, highlighting his vision and ability to create opportunities.
His contributions are not limited to close-range efforts, as he has also made significant impacts with long-range shots, proving himself as a versatile attacker.
Perhaps his standout performance came in the UEFA Champions League against Newcastle United, where he scored twice in a 2-1 victory.
These performances show that Rashford is more than just a temporary solution. In fact, he is delivering consistently and validating Barcelona’s decision to bring him in on loan.
Under Hansi Flick, Rashford has rediscovered his confidence and form, becoming a key player in Barcelona’s attacking system.
His ability to score, assist, and lead the team in critical moments makes him a player to watch this season.
If he continues at this pace, he could be a defining figure for the Blaugrana both in La Liga and in Europe.
