RASHFORD LOOKS THE REAL DEAL

Ahead of El Clasico, the Barcelona forward has played in all 12 games and scored 5 goals
-
No English player has appeared in a Clasico for Barcelona since Gary Lineker in the 1980s, but Marcus Rashford should end that run on Oct 26 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
An injury to winger Raphinha opened the door for the forward to prove his worth in the first months of his loan from Manchester United, and he has duly delivered.
Rashford has five goals and six assists in 12 games for Hansi Flick's side, mostly operating on the left wing.
The 27-year-old struck twice in the Champions League in midweek, as Barca routed Olympiacos 6-1 to gear up for the match against bitter rivals and league leaders Real Madrid.
Real right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to return from injury to Los Blancos' squad for the Clasico, meaning Rashford could end up facing his England teammate.
After arriving at Barcelona in the summer, Rashford admitted that he was grateful for the opportunity and would make the most of it, even if he could only play a bit-part role.
However, he is the only Barcelona attacker to participate in every match this season for his club and he is starting to thrive.
