On a hot streak – Barcelona forward registers direct goal contribution for seven consecutive games

Even on a difficult afternoon at the Sanchez Pizjuan, Barcelona fans found a bright spot in summer signing Marcus Rashford. 

Although the Blaugrana suffered a 1-4 defeat against Sevilla, the Manchester United loanee showed why he could be a key figure for the team this season. 

Rashford has been one of Barcelona’s most active players in recent weeks, and his performance against Sevilla offered a glimpse of his potential to lift the squad.

The English striker scored his first La Liga goal for Barça with a moment of instinctive brilliance. He met a precise cross from Pedri and finished with a first-touch shot at the far post. 

The goal, arriving just before halftime, made it 2-1 and briefly reignited hope for a comeback after a shaky start. 

While Barcelona could not turn the game around, Rashford’s goal reminded fans of his sharpness and attacking instinct.

Steady progress and impact on the team

In the second half, Barcelona raised their intensity, pressing Sevilla and creating several promising chances. Lewandowski missed a penalty, and Roony Bardghji missed two clinical chances. 

Rashford remained the most incisive figure in attack, constantly looking for spaces and trying to influence the game. 

However, despite his efforts, the team could not change the outcome, and Rashford ended the match blending in with the rest of the side.

Individually, Rashford’s trajectory has been impressive. He has started six of the last seven matches and has been involved in a goal in all seven, either scoring or assisting. 

His form has been consistent since his first assist against Valencia, followed by a Champions League brace against Newcastle United, and four consecutive assists against Getafe, Oviedo, Real Sociedad, and PSG. 

As a result, Barcelona can take comfort in Rashford’s rise, as his steady performances suggest he could be a key figure in the team’s offensive plans this season.
