Overview
- Barcelona beat Getafe 2-0 with Marcus Rashford coming on as a substitute to score the sealing goal after a breakaway run and calm finish.
- The result, paired with Real Madrid dropping points, put Barcelona in control of the title race with five matches left and a chance to clinch on May 10 in El Clasico at Camp Nou.
- The goal was Rashford’s 13th of a productive loan spell from Manchester United, underscoring his value as an impact option under coach Hansi Flick.
- His long‑term status remains unresolved, with multiple reports saying Barcelona are reluctant to trigger a reported £26m buy clause and take on a large wage package.
- Rashford logged 30 minutes against Getafe with two key passes and 89% passing despite two failed dribbles, a concise cameo that balanced end product with tidy link play.
