It was the 9th minute, and the English international was preparing to execute a free kick obtained by the Catalans very close to the line of the opponent's box, after the foul committed by Rudiger.
Rashford took a short spurt and fired into the far corner. The ball went straight into the net. None of the 5 footballers in the wall could reach the ball, and Thibaut Courtois was beaten, to the delight of a packed Camp Nou.
It was Rashford's 14th goal in 48 appearances for the Spaniards this season. The Englishman also has 14 assists. He is on loan from Manchester United until the end of the current season.
The show continued and Barcelona managed to make it 2-0 in the 18th minute. Ferran Torres sent the ball into the net after receiving a superb pass from Dani Olmo.
Real Madrid responded through Gonzalo Garcia, who sent just wide from a great position, alone with Joan Garcia.
