Barcelona kicked off their Champions League campaign with a tough trip to England to face Newcastle United.

Here are all the goals from the match 👇

Marcus Rashford Shines with a Brace in His Barcelona Champions League Debut Against Newcastle

Marcus Rashford, jeered throughout the match by the Newcastle crowd, needed a performance of this caliber and delivered: he opened his goal-scoring account with FC Barcelona in the Champions League with two spectacular goals that secured a 1-2 victory at St. James’ Park.

The English forward, with a point to prove after his departure from Manchester United, impressed England manager Thomas Tuchel, who was present in the stands. Rashford delivered one of his best performances in years, proving he can be a key piece for Hansi Flick’s Barça.

A Decisive Brace from Rashford

• First goal: An impeccable header from a Koundé cross that silenced the English crowd.
• Second goal: A powerful long-range strike into the top corner, unstoppable for the opposing goalkeeper.

With this brace, Rashford ended a four-year goal drought in the Champions League and made it clear that his time at Manchester United didn’t reflect his full potential.

Newcastle Dominated, but Rashford Decided

Newcastle controlled several phases of the match, but their lack of finishing and an outstanding performance from Barcelona’s new goalkeeper, Joan García, kept the score at zero. García denied a clear goal from Harvey Barnes and gave Barça the confidence to grow as the minutes passed.

In the 91st minute, Anthony Gordon pulled one back for Eddie Howe’s side, but it was too little, too late.

An Unforgettable Night for Rashford and Barça

Rashford’s debut with Barcelona couldn’t have been better: two stunning goals in the Champions League, in a historic stadium, and with Tuchel watching from the stands.

The victory gives Barça three crucial away points and confidence ahead of their next European clash against Paris Saint-Germain at the Camp Nou.
