Our no.10 inspired a second-half turnaround after Marcos Alonso headed the hosts in front, as Rashford then equalised within two minutes and played an influential role in the goal that put us ahead moments later.
The game ended 2-2 in Catalonia, though, as Raphinha drew the hosts level with a quarter-of-an-hour remaining – meaning next week’s second leg at Old Trafford will be a hotly anticipated contest, with the tie still hanging in the balance.
While there was a highlight on the night for Rashford, as he equalled his career best goal-tally for a United season with a precise finish beyond Marc-Andre ter Stegen, he was frustrated that the Reds were not returning to Manchester with a first-leg victory.
