Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe found the back of the net on Sunday as Los Blancos secured a 2-1 win and built a commanding five-point advantage at the top of La Liga. Meanwhile, Barcelona suffered their second loss in three league games and have fallen to second place.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, was not entirely disappointed, earning a starting spot and playing a key role in ensuring the visitors were on their own. Fermin L\u00f3pez equalized in the 38th minute, thanks to Rashford&#8217;s deft movement up the left flank and subsequent cross. It was the England international&#8217;s best moment before he moved up front to be replaced by Ferran Torres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Despite the disappointing result, Rashford&#8217;s performance earned him plaudits from sections of the Spanish press. And his first appearance in one of football&#8217;s most prestigious competitions may have been far more difficult in retrospect.<\/p>\n<p>Spain&#8217;s As newspaper wrote: &#8220;The Englishman performed well in his first Clasico. He equalized Fermin and worked hard in the press.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona went into Sunday&#8217;s match without a number of key players, with Robert Lewandowski, Rafinha, Gabi and Dani Olmo all absent.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Sport provided a glowing review of Rashford&#8217;s potential ahead of his first Clasico appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>They praised his performances so far and declared him &#8220;living the dream&#8221; since arriving at Camp Nou on a season-long loan following his defection from the Red Devils.<\/p>\n<p>The report states: &#8220;Rashford will be the star of a real Clasico.&#8221; &#8220;Once the ball is kicked off, he will be one of the surprise guests at the table for La Liga&#8217;s most important match.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As expected, with Phelan back in the starting line-up, he will play on the left wing. This is a great opportunity for the British icon to continue showing the world that he is back and on the right path.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mundo Deportivo were far more critical of Rashford&#8217;s play, slamming his performance as &#8220;inexplicable&#8221; despite the 27-year-old scoring an assist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Their assessment of his contribution was stated as follows: &#8220;A clever assist to Fermin could not have fixed a game that looked like it could create more danger than when he received the ball.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He didn&#8217;t make the most of his strengths when he had space. As a number nine he was worse than as a winger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That element of criticism may seem puzzling given that Rashford&#8217;s contribution exceeded that of most of his team-mates, but he will no doubt focus on the positives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2126620\/Marcus-Rashford-Man-Utd\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcus Rashford&#8217;s first taste of El Clasico fell short of expectations, with Barcelona losing to Real Madrid.
