"Marcus Rashford reminded Manchester United of what they are missing with a stunning double to ease Barcelona to a 2-1 Champions League victory at Newcastle. The 27-year-old loanee, who scored in United's Carabao Cup final victory over the Magpies in 2023, broke the deadlock at St. James' Park with a 58th-minute header and then rifled home a second from distance in front of England boss Thomas Tuchel to make Eddie Howe's men pay for missed chances earlier in the game."
"St. James' reverberated to a cacophony from the stands as Barnes and Gordon combined to harry Barca keeper Joan García and defender Pau Cubarsí into early errors in a high-octane start to proceedings. Gordon missed his kick in front of goal after Anthony Elanga had shown full-back Gerard Martín a clean pair of heels down the Magpies' right to send in a low sixth-minute cross, and García gratefully claimed Barnes' ball in after he had exchanged passes with Sandro Tonali."
Marcus Rashford scored twice to give Barcelona a 2-1 Champions League win at Newcastle. The 27-year-old loanee opened the scoring with a 58th-minute header and added a long-range second in front of England boss Thomas Tuchel. Newcastle enjoyed early chances through Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes, with Gordon returning from suspension in place of Nick Woltemade. Joan García and Pau Cubarsí were hurried into errors during a frenetic start, while Nick Pope made a notable save to deny Robert Lewandowski. Anthony Gordon scored late for Newcastle, but Barcelona held on to win.
