He is still an unfulfilled promise in English football. Now the highly decorated Marcus Rashford has to prove himself against the offensive giants at FC Barcelona.
If Marcus Rashford weren’t a professional soccer player, but a good, though by no means excellent, opera singer, and if all three tenors were still alive, would he have joined Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, and José Carreras with the intention of ousting one of them from the stage?
Hardly. Anyone who watches FC Barcelona’s magnificent offense, where the English international has now moved on loan from Manchester United, will understand this musical comparison. The competitors he faces are, in order of his possible positions from left to right, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal. And if they continue to perform even remotely as well as they have been, there is really no reason for coach Hansi Flick to break up this trio, especially in big matches.
