Spanish media commented on Rashford s debut in Barcelona: standard rating, not bad, but not particularly outstanding

Marcus Rashford ended up having a starter in La Liga when Barcelona beat Levante 3-2 on Saturday night.

Although the English striker had only 45 minutes of play, his performance received a pretty positive response from the local media.

The 27-year-old is now determined to revive his career, which has been backwards since being abandoned by Manchester United.

This preliminary demonstration became an important first step in its adaptation journey. Although no significant results have been shown, the established foundations are quite promising for further development.

Rashford's first phase in the eyes of the media

Flick's decision to replace Rashford at halftime has sparked speculation about his poor performance. However, statistics show a different picture than these guesses.

In the 45-minute game, Rashford successfully sent two key passes, with a pass accuracy of 100%. Barcelona and Global Media believe that Flick prefers substitutions based on tactical considerations rather than evaluating personal performance.

"With two key passes and a 100% pass success rate, Flick is certainly satisfied with Rashford," the Barcelona Globe wrote on a 6.5/10 rating. This score reflects recognition of his contributions over a limited time.

Hansi Flick's comments

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick also made a constructive comment after the game. He stressed that Rashford still has great potential to make significant contributions to the team throughout the long season.

This patient approach is expected to bring the best results in the long run. The support of coaches has become a key capital for Rashford to continue to develop. The trust given is expected to improve his performance in the next game.

Spanish media rating

Apart from Barcelona, ​​various other media also gave relatively consistent evaluations. Semprebaka gave Rashford 6.5 out of 10 points, noting that he showed some promising moments, though he ended up being one of the first players to be replaced.

Spanish football members gave a slightly higher rating at 7/10, and it should be noted that despite initially aggressive performance, their performance declined at the end of the first half. This diversity of ratings shows different perspectives, but remains within a positive range.

Although the ratings given have not yet reached a stunning level, the combination of these reviews suggests that Rashford has made a pretty good impression. Barcelona fans are now relying on this bright beginning to be the turning point in the striker's career.

Expectations for the next performance continue to increase over time and the adaptation period. Stability became the key to proving that he deserved the regular position of the main lineup.
