Rashford joined Barcelona on a season-long loan deal with an option to be made permanent in the summer transfer window. The England international had been frozen out by his boyhood club after falling out of favour with coach Ruben Amorim, and moved to Spain in an underwhelming transfer.

In the absence of the injured Lamine Yamal, Hansi Flick handed the Manchester United loanee a start, and he delivered an excellent display. The 27-year-old found the net twice, both in the second half, to put the Magpies to the sword in front of their own fans.

Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford makes history for Barcelona

Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford has made history as he became the first English goalscorer for Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, as per @eurofootcom. The forward scored twice to lead his side to a convincing 2-1 win, claiming all three points.

Rashford headed home his first of the game in the 58th minute after a cross from Jules Kounde. His second goal was a stunner in the 67th minute, firing home from range after some nice footwork from the Englishman to evade his markers.

Barcelona have not had many English players join them over the years, hence the lack of Champions League goalscorers from England since the competition was renamed in 1993. Rashford would hope to have done enough to earn him a start against Getafe at the weekend and continue to perform excellently throughout the course of the season.
