Barcelona manager Hansi Flick defended his decision to hook Marcus Rashford after 45 minutes of his full La Liga debut, explaining how the Manchester United loanee’s substitution allowed his new teammates to return to their best positions.
Rashford began Saturday night’s trip to Levante almost as brightly as the club’s neon green kit. The upright winger twice powered his way to the byline inside the opening exchanges and forced an early save from Pablo Cunat. However, it was the visitors who struck first, breaking Barcelona’s infamously daring offside trap to take a 15th-minute lead through Ivan Romero.
