In the Gambel Cup match where Barcelona defeated Como 5-0, new player Marcus Rashford staged a two-day sadness and joy with an assist and a spit. He assisted his teammate Rafinia to eat the cake easily, but he kicked it away bizarrely when facing the empty goal, causing Rafinia to collapse on the spot and scream with her head in her arms.

Century empty goal, which is more difficult than scoring, starts the second half, and Barcelona leads 4-0. Rashford received the straight pass and easily swung past the goalkeeper. At this time, there was an empty goal in front of him, only a few meters away.

But then, an incredible scene happened. Without any interference, Rashford's shot actually rubbed against the post and missed. The English striker held his head in disbelief, and his teammate Rafinia, who was on the sidelines, opened her eyes wide, hugged her head with both hands, and screamed exaggeratedly.

As The Athletic commented: "It is harder to shoot than to hit the door frame."

The flaws do not conceal the merits

However, this ridiculous mistake cannot cover up Rashford's overall outstanding performance in this game.

Just 10 minutes before the empty goal was not in, he was the selfless assisting to help Rafinia push the empty goal easily, rewriting the score to 3-0. In the game where he replaced the injured Lewandowski's starting lineup, Rashford's speed, dribbling and ability to integrate into the system were fully demonstrated.

For Rashford, this time the empty goal may become a kind joke for fans to come. But for coach Flick, he sees more of a positive side: a powerful new player who can integrate into the system, create opportunities, and assist teammates. A mistake is not harmful, and his Barcelona career is moving in the right direction.
