Marcus Rashford was one of the most prominent additions to this FC Barcelona team in the last summer transfer window as he joined from Manchester United on a season-long loan.
Since his arrival, the English forward has been particularly impressive in the UEFA Champions League. In just three league phase matches so far, he has already scored four goals for La Blaugrana.
Two of those came against Newcastle United when he played on the left wing, while the other two were scored against Olympiacos last night as he featured as a center forward.
As [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20251021/1002555018/rashford-espero-ilusion-clasico-vine-jugar-partidos-asi.html) has reported, after the [6-1 win over Olympiacos](https://semprebarca.com/fermin-10-0-rashford-9-5-fc-barcelona-6-1-olympiacos-player-ratings/), Rashford spoke to the media about his role on the pitch and shared his thoughts on his preferred position.
**“I prefer to play as a winger, but I’ll play wherever I’m needed to help the team.”**
The Englishman also praised the team’s overall performance, particularly their composure after the break.
**“In the second half, we solved it with patience and by building up our play. It was a good game, and we’re ready.”**
Marcus Rashford then turned his attention to the upcoming El Clásico, expressing his excitement about facing Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu this weekend.
**“The match against Madrid is important — that’s why I came. I’m looking forward to it.”**
With his confidence high and his form in front of goal continuing to improve, Rashford will now aim to make a decisive impact when Barcelona face their biggest rivals on Saturday.
