The Englishman was a victim of the context he was brought into, with Barcelona comfortably maintaining possession in midfield and Mallorca sitting back in a deep low-block. Rashford, who was deployed as a center forward in the absence of the injured Robert Lewandowski, didn’t have much room in which to operate.

Barcelona's new forward Marcus Rashford and goalkeeper Joan Garcia have been registered in time to feature in the Spanish champions LaLiga opener at Mallorca on Saturday.

The Spanish champions' season begins on Saturday, but they are struggling to sign players because of La Liga's financial rules.
