CAMP NOU DREAM: MARCUS RASHFORD SET FOR LONG-AWAITED BARCELONA DEBUT
Marcus Rashford's dream of playing at Camp Nou for Barcelona could come true this weekend. The Man Utd loanee is eager to make his debut at the iconic stadium.
This weekend, Marcus Rashford might get to live out his dream of playing at Camp Nou. The Manchester United striker, currently on loan, has said before that he's always wanted to play in front of Barcelona's fans in their famous stadium. His time with the Spanish team began at the Olympic Stadium.
Barcelona hadn't played at Camp Nou since 2023, using the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium instead. Their home stadium is undergoing a big renovation project costing £1.3 billion. Last weekend, Rashford had to sit out Barca's return to Camp Nou because he was sick.
Barca celebrated their return to Camp Nou by beating Athletic Bilbao 3-0, but Rashford could only watch. He's said that one reason he wanted to join Barcelona on loan was the chance to play at the iconic stadium.
Now, he might finally get that chance when Barcelona plays Alaves in La Liga on Saturday. When he joined Barca, Rashford commented, It feels great. It’s a beautiful stadium, and it’s going to be amazing when it’s full. Camp Nou has always been one of my favourite stadiums, and I've always wanted to play there.
He added, Playing there for Barcelona will be something else. I can't wait to get on the field. I’m really going to enjoy it.”
The renovation is set to be done in 2027, increasing the stadium's capacity to 105,000, which would make it the fifth-largest stadium in the world. Barcelona has also asked UEFA for permission to move its remaining Champions League home games back to Camp Nou this season.
So far this season, Rashford has scored six goals and made nine assists in 17 games in all competitions. Barcelona is currently three points behind Real Madrid in La Liga.
After a rough end to his time at Old Trafford due to a strained relationship with United manager Ruben Amorim, the 28-year-old has made a good start with his change of scenery.
The Spanish media have praised Rashford, both for his performance on the field and for how well he's settled into his new life in Catalonia. Rashford seems to be enjoying his time in Spain.
When ESPN asked if he wanted to stay at Barcelona permanently, he said, Oh yeah, for sure.
He added, I’m enjoying being at this football club, and for anyone who loves football, Barcelona is one of the most important clubs in the history of the game. It's an honour for a player to be here.
FROM "ONE FOOT OUT" TO MVP: THE HANSI FLICK CONVERSATION THAT SAVED RAPHINHA
Raphinha scored twice as Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 to retain the Spanish Super Cup. Discover Hansi Flick’s reaction here.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick had plenty of praise for Raphinha after the forward bagged two goals to sink Real Madrid and help Barcelona keep hold of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.
Raphinha’s on a tear right now—seven goals in his last five games. That includes his brace in the 3-2 win over Madrid in Saudi Arabia. Earlier this season, he missed about two months with an injury, and during that stretch, Barcelona’s form took a real hit. But since coming back, he’s looked sharp. Flick told reporters, “His mentality is unbelievable; his energy lifts the whole team.”
Raphinha did fluff a good chance in the first half, but he made up for it almost immediately, putting Barca ahead in Jeddah. Then, with the game tied at 2-2, he stepped up again—this time from outside the box, with a little help from a deflection, to score the winner.
“He missed that first opportunity, but then he scored and gave the team a real boost,” Flick said. “That’s what Raphinha brings—he’s intense, and we need that.”
Barca beat Madrid to win this trophy last season too and went on to clinch a domestic treble. Flick hopes this win will push the league leaders on to even bigger things this year.
“We feel great; we’re confident,” Flick said after Barca’s tenth straight win in all competitions. “A final against Real Madrid always means something extra. Winning it again—honestly, it’s fantastic.”
Flick has now won all eight finals he’s coached, including two against Madrid last season. “When we focus and play like we did today, I get such a good feeling about this team,” he said.
He also brought Ronald Araujo back onto the field late in the match, after the defender took about a month off for his mental health. “Being out there and winning this title means a lot to him,” Flick said. “I’m really happy he’s back, and it seems like he’s doing okay. We’ll always support him.”
OFFICIAL DECISION: BARCELONA INFORM MARCUS RASHFORD THEY WANT HIM TO STAY AT CAMP NOU
Barcelona plan to keep Marcus Rashford permanently despite financial hurdles. See the latest on his £26m clause and United future.
Barcelona really do want to keep Marcus Rashford, but they’re not so sure about paying the full £26 million buyout clause in his loan deal from Manchester United.
It’s only been a little over a year since Rashford last played for United. After that, Ruben Amorim pushed him out of the first team. Rashford bounced back with a solid loan spell at Aston Villa, then landed at Barcelona last summer on a season-long deal. The club got an option to make it permanent.
So far, this move feels like a win for everyone. Rashford has scored seven goals and set up 11 more in 26 games, and Barcelona is sitting four points clear at the top of La Liga. He looks like a new man—sharper, more driven—and now he’s a big piece for Thomas Tuchel’s England squad heading into the World Cup.
There’s still been some debate about whether Barcelona will lock him down for good, since he hasn’t totally nailed down a starting spot. Just this week, he started on the bench for their Super Cup semi-final win over Athletic Club.
Now, with El Clásico against Real Madrid in the Super Cup final coming up on Sunday, a lot of eyes are on Rashford to see how much he’ll feature.
Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim got sacked last Monday, which could open the door for guys like Rashford and Jadon Sancho to return to United. But according to The Athletic, United doesn’t plan to bring them back. Barcelona, on the other hand, has decided they want Rashford to stick around at Camp Nou after this season.
Still, Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona isn’t exactly rushing to trigger that buyout clause, and any final call probably won’t come until closer to the summer. Their finances play a big part in this—plus, Rashford’s £350,000-a-week salary, which Barcelona is currently covering in full.
The £26 million fee already looks like a bargain for a player of Rashford’s ability, and with the way he’s been playing, United aren’t likely to settle for less.
Either way, Rashford seems happy in Spain. He’s made it clear he wants to stay, and there are even rumours he’s hoping to link up again with ex-United teammate Kobbie Mainoo.
