Marcus Rashford stole the series for Barcelona last night with two superb goals in their 2-1 victory in Newcastle United in the Champions League.
Barça had to be patient against the resilient side of Eddie Howe, but Rashford ended up producing a real magic moment with the winning goal from the outside of the box.
The English international is currently ready in Barcelona de Manchester United, and he seems to appreciate his football again after a difficult fate.
Rashford seemed clearly to lose motivation at Man Utd, but he also talked now how refreshing he is in Barcelona.

“It’s okay. Obviously, learning a lot, it’s a new way of football. I appreciate it all and I think that makes me a better player. This is what I am here to help the team win but also try to improve and be the best possible,” Rashford told TNT Sports after the match.
“Honestly, this is an incredible experience, I have always been a great admirer of Barcelona. Most people my age watched them play when we were younger, so it’s incredible football, incredible players and we just want to win as much as possible.”
He added: “I am full of excitement. I am very motivated, very determined and the quality we have in the team, which excites me alone.
“It’s refreshing to play with these guys. I said it a few times but the team is so young that they play with such confidence, such an understanding of the game.”

It clearly looks like a player who needed a scene change and who needed to move away from Old Trafford.
So many talented footballers have had trouble in this environment in recent years, many of them have improved after leaving the Red Devils.
It now seems that Rashford does the same, and it’s great for neutral fans to see him again at his best.
