Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has been full or praise for loanee Marcus Rashford after seeing him pick up another assist in midweek against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.
Rashford came off the bench in the game at Camp Nou and helped to turn the game in Barcelona’s favor, with the Catalans running out 2-1 victors.
Flick spoke out after the game and offered some insight into Rashford’s mentality this season at Barcelona.
“When he’s on the bench, it shows also we have a good team,” Flick he told reporters.
“In this position we have excellent players. What I can say, he’s an absolute professional player. His attitude, mentality is great. In the beginning, he had to adapt a little bit, but now he’s on his best level.
“I speak with the players when they’re not playing, explaining why, and what he said to me the last day, was ‘Boss, you don’t have to tell me this, it’s only about the team. We have to win three points, nothing else is important.’
“It’s the right attitude. The mentality he has is fantastic and I am really happy he is here.”
Rashford will be hoping he’s done enough to start on Saturday when Barcelona return to action in La Liga against Osasuna.
