Marcus Rashford now leads all Barcelona players in one stat this season

Barcelona summer signing Marcus Rashford now leads all members of Hansi Flick’s squad in one key category this season.

This comes owing to his exploits in the Blaugrana’s latest outing.

Barcelona are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front.

After being condemned to a first defeat of the season at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, the reigning Spanish champions have turned focus back towards matters in La Liga, in a meeting with Sevilla.

And as things stand, it is the efforts of the aforementioned Rashford which are keeping alive Barca’s hopes of a comeback.

After his side fell into a two-goal hole during the first-half on Sunday, the on-loan Manchester United man pulled one back on the stroke of the interval.

In the process, Rashford made it seven direct goal contributions in the colours of his new club.

And as revealed by statisticians Opta:

‘Marcus Rashford has been involved in seven goals in 10 games for FC Barcelona across all competitions (3 goals and 4 assists), more than any other player for the club this season.’
