Forget Yamal, Pedri because 27-year-old star is now Barcelona's new assist king | Barca Universal
"Barcelona may have suffered defeat in Sunday's El Clasico, but amid the disappointment lies a major silver lining - the continued brilliance of Marcus Rashford. The forward was once again among the most decisive players on the pitch, providing yet another assist - his sixth of the season - which takes his overall tally to 11 goal contributions across all competitions, consisting of five goals and six assists."
"His list of assists includes Raphinha (vs Valencia), Ferran Torres (vs Getafe and PSG), Ronald Araujo (vs Oviedo), Jules Kounde (vs Real Sociedad), and Fermín Lopez (vs Real Madrid). As for goals, Rashford's finishing touch has been equally impressive. The Englishman has scored five times this season - two against Newcastle, two more in the win over Olympiacos, and one in La Liga during the 4-1 triumph over Sevilla."
Barcelona suffered defeat in Sunday's El Clasico, but Marcus Rashford continued to excel, providing his sixth assist and reaching 11 goal contributions across all competitions. One run by Rashford led to the penalty converted by Lamine Yamal in the rout of Olympiacos, an action not officially classed as an assist but underlining his decisive influence. Rashford has found rhythm under Hansi Flick and shared six assists among five teammates, with Ferran Torres benefiting twice. He has scored five goals this season: two vs Newcastle, two vs Olympiacos, and one vs Sevilla. Flick has praised Rashford's work ethic, and Rashford aims to stay beyond his loan; Barcelona's option to buy is valued between €30 and €35 million.
