Magic Rashford scores STUNNING second goal for Barcelona against Newcastle

  /  autty

Marcus Rashford scored twice for Barcelona in quick succession to announce his return to English soil against Newcastle after his loan move away from Manchester United this summer.

The England international is looking to enjoy a return to his superlative form at his new club - and is already off to the races in Europe's top competition.

Starting for his new side against the Magpies, Rashford wasted no time reminding St James' Park of his talents, breaking the deadlock shortly after half-time with a towering header.

Rashford's second - scored just nine minutes later - was a feast for the eyes, with the 28-year-old letting fly a curling shot from the edge of the box to outsmart Nick Pope.

The quickfire brace on Tyneside comes after a slightly more muted start in Catalonia for the forward.

After a good-looking pre-season, Rashford had only mustered an assist for Barca thus far this season.

But his efforts against Eddie Howe's side have put Barcelona some way ahead of their English rivals, marking a personal landmark for Rashford too as he netted his first Champions League goal since October 2021.
