Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has moved to defend summer signing Marcus Rashford, following a somewhat underwhelming competitive debut appearance for the Englishman in Blaugrana colours.Barcelona

Barcelona beat Mallorca 3-0 as Marcus Rashford made his La Liga debut for the club, but manager Hansi Flick was far from happy afterwards. It looked like an ideal start to the league campaign for the champions as Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal scored the goals away from home.

The Spanish media have given their feelings on Marcus Rashford after the departed Manchester United outcast made his long-awaited La Liga debut on Saturday afternoon. The 27-year-old came off the bench and played 22 minutes as Barcelona kickstarted their title defence with a 3-0 away win over Mallorca.
