Marcus Rashford was one of the star performers for Barcelona as they secured a brilliant 6-1 victory over Olympiacos.
The Englishman, who is currently on loan from Manchester United, scored a brace against the Greeks and continued his stellar form.
Rashford has now scored five goals and registered six assists since joining Barcelona, making him one of the most productive players in the team this season.
Barcelona have good feelings about Rashford
According to Fabrizio Romano, Rashford has every chance to continue at Barcelona beyond the end of the season if he can maintain his current form.
It appears the Barcelona camp are extremely satisfied with the attacker’s performances, with the player also enjoying a good reputation in the dressing room.

The club were particularly impressed with how Rashford, after the game, went and handed the match-ball to Fermin Lopez, following his hat-trick on the night.
This was indicative of the Englishman’s humility and commitment to the team – something that Barcelona value quite highly. This puts the attacker in an even more favourable position.
Therefore, the on-loan Man United star can surely continue at Barcelona at the current rate. His salary package won’t be a problem for Barcelona, though it will be a key point of discussion later on.
It must be noted that the Catalans have an excellent opportunity to sign Rashford permanently for a fee of just €30 million, as stipulated in his loan contract.
Therefore, if Rashford continues his current form, there is no way Barcelona would like to miss that market opportunity and sign a world-class player on a cut-price deal.
