Marcus Rashford has quickly become a key figure at FC Barcelona under Hansi Flick. The English forward has earned his place in the starting XI through determination and consistency, and his numbers prove just how vital he has been this season.
With two goals and four assists, Rashford currently leads the Nou Camp heavyweights’ charts as the top provider.
His latest moment of brilliance came against PSG at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Despite Barcelona’s defeat, Rashford stood out, splitting the defence with a sharp first-time pass that set up Ferran Torres for the opener in the 19th minute.
That assist marked his fourth of the campaign, adding to his decisive contributions against Real Sociedad, Oviedo, and Valencia.
The competition for creativity within the squad is tight, with Lamine Yamal (3 assists), Raphinha (2), and Dani Olmo (2) trailing behind Rashford. Beyond assists, the forward has already made his mark in Europe.
The England international scored twice at St James’ Park in the Champions League opener and has now been directly involved in every Barca goal in the competition this season.
Rashford’s impact goes beyond goals and assists. He has averaged a goal contribution every 88 minutes across all competitions and leads the team with 62 touches inside the opposition box.
For a player new to Barcelona, these figures highlight his hunger to succeed and his ability to adapt quickly to Flick’s system. With performances like these, Rashford is not just settling in; he is already thriving.
