Rashford ends long Clásico wait in stunning style as Barça close in 🔥 Barcelona are closing in on winning their 29th La Liga title in the best possible style with a win over their fiercest rivals, Real Madrid. Marcus Rashford got the party started after just nine minutes with a stunning free-kick. The on-loan forward stepped up in the absence of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha to curl a sublime effort past Thibaut Courtois and into the top corner as the Camp Nou went wild.

Remarkably, it was the first Barça free-kick scored in the famous fixture in 14 years. Here is the goal for UK and Irish viewers. Ferran Torres has since doubled their lead but it is Rashford who has stolen the show as he gets set to win the first league title of his career.

Could he also have convinced Barça to sign him on a permanent basis this summer?
