Marcus Rashford Marcus Rashford finally broke his drought in La Liga with a strike against Real Sociedad at the Anoeta. The Manchester United youth product had not scored since early November in the league, but brought his side level after just seven minutes on the pitch. Unfortunately for the Catalans, they conceded a second just a minute later and lost the match 1-2. In incredible scenes, they had three goals chalked off by VAR and a penalty overturned in added time. Raphinha produced a delightful cross from the right-hand side and Rashford showed good anticipation to beat his marker and head home from close range. It was his eighth goal of the season for the Catalans, and he now has 19 goal contributions in all competitions. Rashford had one shot on target and also produced one key pass. He also completed 90% of his passes. He will likely next be in action when Barcelona travel to Czechia to take on Slavia Praha in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

In snowy conditions, he got down well to stop an effort on goal that skipped on the icy surface. He perhaps could have done better when the home side opened the scoring, as a close-range effort slipped between his legs into the net. Onana also completed 75% of his passes and won his only ground duel attempt in the match. His side stay third in the league, and he will next be in action against Kasımpaşa S.K on Friday evening.
