Barcelona beat Newcastle 2-1, and the La Liga Champions League wins honor, all relying on "Manchester United abandoned son"

The first round of the Champions League was supposed to be a stage for La Liga teams to prove their strength, but it turned out to be a "Waterloo". Bilbao fell at Arsenal's feet, Villarreal was suppressed by Tottenham, and Atletico Madrid still couldn't escape the defeat when he fought hard at Anfield. When everyone was lamenting that "the Premier League is dominant", Barcelona played a soul-stirring tough battle at St. James Park. Rashford lit up Barcelona with two shots, and also retained the last dignity for La Liga.

Rashford, Barcelona's surprise

In the first half, the two teams were more like testing, and the scene was so boring that it made people yawn. Barcelona's possession rate is quite decent, but the real threat is very few. Until the second half, in the 58th minute, Comte made an arc cross from the right, Rashford jumped up like a spring in the crowd, and smashed the goal net with a headshot. At that moment, the new player of Camp Nou finally ushered in his own winning goal.

Before Newcastle could stabilize his position, in the 67th minute, he interrupted the ball in the middle and chose to break through, dribbled the ball to the right, with almost no angle, and directly hit the world wave and went into the far corner. **Two goals fully demonstrate his strength and aura. **St James Park was quiet for a moment, and Barcelona yelled for the entire La Liga. In the injury stoppage time, Gordon scored a goal and Newcastle fans rekindled hope, but time was not enough. Barcelona defended the victory, and there were too many complex meanings behind this 2-1 score. The person who was let go of Manchester United now shines in Barcelona. The story of Rashford is somewhat dramatic. He was once the purest "Red Devils Boy" in the hearts of Manchester United fans. He debuted with a halo, but gradually lost in the cracks of injuries, tactical adjustments and sluggish confidence. When leaving Manchester United, many people shook their heads, feeling that it was difficult for him to find a place in the top giants.

Who would have thought that he found the answer in Barcelona. He scored consecutive goals in just two games and scored twice on the Champions League stage. The media's joke was very direct: "Manchester United's abandoned son became Barcelona's hero."

For Rashford, this was not a simple goal, but a complete self-salvation. He re-proves that he can still carry the team and be the protagonist on the most shining stage.

La Liga last confidence

This night, Barcelona is not just playing football for itself. The three La Liga teams were defeated in the Premier League, which almost made the outside world believe that La Liga has fallen behind completely. If Barcelona also falls, the argument of "La Liga is falling" will inevitably fly everywhere.

So this victory is more like a declaration: La Liga is still alive and competitive. It also reminds people that Barcelona is still the team that can stir up the turmoil in the Champions League.

Hidden worries that cannot be covered by victory

Of course, winning does not mean perfection. In the second half of the game, Barcelona's defense line was torn apart by Newcastle's high-pressure impact again and again, and goalkeeper Garcia saved the risk many times, otherwise the result might not be so. The midfield's pass and control advantages are not strong enough in the face of confrontation intensity, and the shortcomings in the depth of the bench are even more obvious. This victory is more like a heart-boosting shot than a magic pill to solve the chronic disease.

In other words, Barcelona won, but if you really want to go further, you have to solve the problem of "insufficient stamina".

Newcastle's regrets

Newcastle's regrets are actually very obvious. After losing Isaac, the front line's lethality was greatly reduced. Gordon played the guest center, and although he tried hard to score, his fulcrum was obviously insufficient. On the scene, they once suppressed Barcelona with the atmosphere at home, but the defense line at critical moments loosened, making the team's fighting spirit go to waste.

For Newcastle, the future group stage is destined to be difficult to play. They must find a new solution to the forward line as soon as possible, otherwise the qualifying situation will be very passive. In the night at Rashford, La Liga's life-saving straw

in the first round of the Champions League, the overall performance of the Premier League was enviable, while La Liga was almost wiped out. Just as the outside world was about to draw a conclusion, Barcelona and Rashford stood up. This is not only a victory, but also a shout: La Liga has not completely sunk.

Rashford regained his own light at Camp Nou. He used two goals to tell the world that if he changed the stage, he could still dominate the game. For Barcelona, ​​this is not just a group stage victory, but it is more likely to be a turning point in the season.

When the final whistle sounded, the scene of Rashford raising his arms was frozen in the camera. At that moment, he was no longer a frustrated person leaving Manchester United, but Barcelona's new hope. This may just be the beginning of the story.
