"When he's on the bench, it shows also we have a good team. In this position we have excellent players. What I can say, he's an absolute professional player. His attitude, mentality is great. In the beginning, he had to adapt a little bit, but now he's on his best level."
"I speak with the players when they're not playing, explaining why, and what he said to me the last day, was 'Boss, you don't have to tell me this, it's only about the team. We have to win three points, nothing else is important.' It's the right attitude. The mentality he has is fantastic and I am really happy he is here."
Marcus Rashford returned to the Barcelona starting lineup for a 5-3 win at Real Betis but was later named on the bench for the Champions League victory against Eintracht Frankfurt. He came off the bench in that game and set up Jules Koundé's equaliser. Coach Hansi Flick praised Rashford's professionalism, attitude and mentality, saying Rashford adapted and is now at his best level. Rashford is on a season-long loan from Manchester United and has six goals and 11 assists in 21 appearances. Raphinha's return and competition from Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski have reduced his minutes.
