Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford has revealed how refreshing it is to play alongside his new teammates after his two superb goals secured an away win over Newcastle United in the Champions League.
In what was a balance match, Rashford produced a moment of real magic by scoring twice in seven minutes – his second goal, a thunderous shot from outside the box.

Rashford clearly seemed to lose motivation at Man Utd, but he’s also spoken now about how refreshing it is to be at Barcelona.
“It’s going good. Obviously learning a lot, it’s a new way of football. I’m enjoying it all and I think it’s making me a better player. That’s what I’m here to do, help the team win but also try and improve and be the best I can,” Rashford told TNT Sports after the game.
“Honestly it’s an amazing experience, I’ve always been a huge admirer of Barcelona. Most people my age have watched them play from when we were younger, so it’s amazing football, amazing players and we just want to win as much as possible.”
He added: “I’m full of excitement. I’m very motivated, very determined and the quality we’ve got in the team, that excites me alone.
“It’s refreshing to play with these guys. I’ve said it a few times but the team’s so young, they play with such confidence, such understanding of the game.”
With Manchester United still struggling under Ruben Amorim, Rashford will be eager to continue his good form as he hopes to make Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup Squad in 2026.
