In the initial phase it was a bit of survival for Barça. Newcastle United started the game furiously, but then the guests slowly took over the initiative. With the Tandem Pedri/Frenkie de Jong, FC Barcelona dominated the midfield. After the break the reward came.
Marcus Rashford leaves his stamp
In the 57th minute it was hit for the guests. It was Jules Koundé, who gave a sharp front with the left. Marcus Rashford nodded the ball in it. It was the first goal for the Englishman employed by the Catalans, calculated to visit an English club.
Ten minutes later, Rashford got their hands together again. This goal was of special class. With a huge swap, the United renting sent the ball in the top corner. In the stands, national coach Thomas Tuchel saw that is good at Rashford, who received a public change.

Anthony Gordon’s connection goal set the stadium on fire one more time, but was no longer scored for Barcelona’s relief. At Newcastle, defender Sven Botman came in in the final phase, in which De Jong received a yellow card.
