The English forward has made a huge impact and is currently on top form since arriving from Manchester United on loan.

He scored twice in Barcelona's dominant 6-1 Champions League victory over Olympiakos on Tuesday. 

The 27-year-old has now scored five goals and provided five assists for the Catalan club this season in all competitions.

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.
