Marcus Rashford led all Barcelona players in one stat vs Valencia

A head-turning statistic surrounding the latest performance put forth by Barcelona summer signing Marcus Rashford has come to the fore online.

This comes owing to the Englishman’s exploits in Barcelona’s latest outing.

Hansi Flick’s troops were of course back in action on Sunday night, welcoming Valencia to Catalunya’s capital for a La Liga clash.

The aforementioned Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, was afforded a starting berth, on the hosts’ left flank.

And en route to an eventual 6-0 rout, the 27-year-old more than justified his inclusion.

Showcasing flashes of the player whom the Barcelona brass pushed hard to sign in the summer, Rashford laid on a wonderful assist, whilst looking a constant threat down the wing.

In fact, the on-loan Manchester United man led the entire Barca squad in one statistical category against Valencia.

This came in the form of chances created, with Rashford for his part having carved out three goalscoring opportunities for his teammates.
