Barca were trailing 2-0 when Rashford was taken off at half-time before Pedri, Ferran Torres and Unai Elgezabal’s last-gasp own goal snatched victory

Marcus Rashford scored in his first appearance for Manchester United, his first Premier League start as well, and on his England debut. Similarly, he registered an assist in his first league appearance for Aston Villa while on loan there last season.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick defended his decision to hook Marcus Rashford after 45 minutes of his full La Liga debut, explaining how the Manchester United loanee’s substitution allowed his new teammates to return to their best positions.
