Barcelona Fans Question Rashford's Bench Role in Newcastle Rout
SportsMarcus Rashford warmed the bench as Barcelona powered past Newcastle in the Champions League knockout stage. Fans couldn't hide their frustration over the sidelined star.
Resumen
On loan from Manchester United with a €30 million buy option, Rashford has delivered 10 goals and 10 assists in 38 appearances this season, including strong Champions League showings. Yet manager Hansi Flick left him out of Wednesday's second-leg win at Camp Nou, favoring Raphinha's pressing after the Brazilian's hat-trick in a recent 5-2 league victory over Sevilla. Supporters debate performance dips, defensive effort, or even club politics around the buy fee, while Flick has praised Rashford's mentality amid his rotation-heavy approach for a busy schedule.
