Marcus Rashford delivered another standout performance as Barcelona defeated Celta Vigo 4-2 on Sunday, providing two assists to move joint-top of La Liga’s assist rankings and earning yet another standing ovation from Blaugrana fans.
The Manchester United loanee was instrumental from the left flank, setting up two of Robert Lewandowski’s goals to complete the striker’s hat-trick.
His creativity guided Barca to within three points of league leaders Real Madrid. Rashford now has six assists, more than Kylian Mbappé (two) and Lamine Yamal (four), tying Getafe’s Luis Milla for the top spot.
Fans heap praise on the Englishman
Barcelona and United fans flooded social media to applaud Rashford’s resurgence. Many praised his renewed playmaking, work rate and consistency, with some dubbing him “Barca’s engine on the left.”
Resurgent form under Flick
Since joining on loan, Rashford has rediscovered the confidence and composure that once defined his early Manchester United career.
His link-up play with Lewandowski and Yamal has been crucial in Hansi Flick’s attacking setup. With England duty next and Athletic Club up next for Barca, Rashford looks unstoppable, and the Camp Nou faithful know it.
