Rashford Leads Champions League Goal Involvements After Barcelona Brace

In a dominant performance on October 21, 2025, Barcelona thrashed Olympiacos 6-1 in Champions League action, with Marcus Rashford once again at the heart of the action. The Manchester-born forward, who joined Barcelona over the summer, scored twice in the 74th and 79th minutes to help his new club secure a comfortable victory.

Rashford's goals took his tally to five in the Champions League so far this season, and his overall goal involvement to a tournament-leading five - including an assist in Barcelona's previous match against Paris Saint-Germain. The 27-year-old's impressive form since leaving his boyhood club Manchester United has been a revelation, and he is now believed to have set himself an ambitious personal target of registering between 30 and 40 assists in all competitions this season.

This would mark a significant increase from the 27 assists Rashford managed across his last three campaigns at Old Trafford, where he had fallen out of favor with incoming manager Ruben Amorim. Rashford has spoken openly about the "inconsistent environment" at Manchester United, and the fresh start he has found at Barcelona appears to have reinvigorated his game.
