\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona came from behind, for the fourth consecutive time<\/a>, in a match to win this season. On Tuesday, Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1)<\/strong> was the new victim of the Blaugrana, this time on the sixth matchday of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League 2025\/26<\/strong>. Marcus Rashford<\/strong>, for the second consecutive match in the tournament, was a substitute.<\/p>

However, this time he was able to make a difference for Hansi Flick’s team. The Englishman came on for **Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez** at halftime, a substitution that ended up being key to the comeback by the Catalans. **Raphinha** moved into the center to play behind **Robert Lewandowski**, leaving the left flank to ‘Rashy’, whose crosses caused a lot of damage to the Frankfurt defense.<\/p>

Rashford’s change unlocked Bar\u00e7a against Eintracht<\/h2>

The Germans effectively reduced spaces in the first half, but were surprised by Marcus’s glove right at the start of the second half. **In the 48th minute, a cross from the Englishman left Rapha well-positioned** to shoot inside the box, but the Brazilian couldn’t direct his shot on target.A couple of minutes later, Rashford again found time and space to send a perfect cross into the heart of the box.<\/p>

The Eintracht defense seemed to have everything under control, but **Jules Kound\u00e9 appeared on the right to head the ball** in at the far postIn the 52nd minute, Marcus took charge of a corner from the left. **The ’14’ decided to play a short pass to Lamine Yamal**, who sent another ‘grenade’ into the box, again met by Kound\u00e9 to score his second headed goal. In seven minutes of the second half, Bar\u00e7a completed their fourth comeback in a row.<\/p>

    50% of Barcelona’s Champions League Goals Have an English Stamp<\/h2>

    With his assist against Eintracht, Marcus Rashford now has 3 goals in the tournament and 7 direct goal involvements<\/strong> in the first 6 Champions League matchdays. The Englishman scored a brace against Newcastle and another against Olympiacos. He also added a pair of assists against PSG and the Greek side.<\/p>

    Although he was a substitute against Chelsea and Newcastle, ‘Rashy’ is the most influential player in the Bar\u00e7a attack so far in the Champions League knockout stage. **7 of the 14 goals scored by Bar\u00e7a have borne the Englishman’s mark**, who has accumulated 15 direct goal involvements (6G\/9A) this season, two fewer than Lamine Yamal (17)<\/p>
