Rashford ready for El Clasico
Rashford has set his sights on this weekend's El Clasico, declaring that facing Real Madrid is "one of the reasons I came here."
"The match against Real Madrid is important and one of the reasons I came here," Rashford stated, as reported by Metro. "I’m looking forward to it."
The move to Spain has revitalised Rashford's career after a difficult period at his boyhood club, Manchester United, where he had fallen out of favour with manager Ruben Amorim.
After a loan spell at Aston Villa last season, Rashford was deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, leading to his current loan deal with Barcelona, which includes a permanent transfer clause set at around £30 million for next summer.
Rashford is set for his first taste of the historic rivalry when Barcelona travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to take on La Liga leaders Real Madrid. A victory for Hansi Flick's side would see them leapfrog their arch-rivals to claim the top spot in the league table.
