Marcus Rashford shone brightly on his return to England with Bar\u00e7a. Against Newcastle, the Englishman was the MVP, completing a great match with a historic double<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> debuted with a victory in the UEFA Champions League 2025\/26<\/strong> thanks to a brilliant performance by Marcus Rashford. The English striker led the Azulgrana attack against Newcastle (1-2)<\/a> scoring the goals of the victory, both with remarkable resolutions from the technical point of view.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a’s ’14’ was, from minute 1, the player who caused the most problems for the ‘magpies’ defense. The winger won the individual duel against Kieran Trippier<\/strong>, repeatedly overflowing on the left and completing a total of 6 shots. 2 of them were on goal, impossible for goalkeeper Pope.<\/p>

High-quality double for Rashford against Newcastle<\/h2>

The first goal of the night fell in the 58th minute. ‘Rashy’ anticipated the Newcastle center-backs to head a cross from Jules Kound\u00e9 from the right<\/strong>. The resolution was complex, but the Englishman managed to hit the ball with his forehead, giving it ideal placement and speed to beat Pope’s stretch.<\/p>

Nine minutes later the second would fall, the most beautiful of the day. Marcus drove several meters and, with time and space, put together a very powerful right-footed shot<\/strong>, impossible for the rival goalkeeper. The ball grazed the crossbar, violently entering the nets to leave the stands of a St. James’ Park speechless, which had already suffered the 27-year-old striker on multiple occasions.<\/p>

In 15 previous matches with United, Rashford scored 5 goals against the ‘magpies’<\/strong>, three of them at their stadium. Well, with his double on Thursday, he has now scored 7 goals against the ‘black and whites’. Only Leicester (8) and Manchester City (7) suffered a similar punishment from the now cul\u00e9 winger.<\/p>
