Rashford Misses Open Goal in Barca Home Debut

Marcus Rashford made his home debut for Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy against Como following his loan move from Manchester United with an option to buy. During Barcelona's 5-0 win, Rashford missed an open goal after rounding the keeper, which drew widespread reactions on social media, but he also assisted Raphinha's goal and has shown promise in pre-season. Rashford is not yet registered for La Liga because of Barcelona's ongoing financial constraints, though club president Joan Laporta is confident he and other new arrivals will be registered before the league opener against Mallorca. The match was held at the Johan Cruyff stadium due to delays in the reopening of Camp Nou, underlining the club's logistical and financial difficulties. Rashford's arrival and performances represent both a new opportunity for him and high expectations at Barcelona.
