The Rashford Era at Barcelona Begins
The night was electric at the Camp Nou. Barcelona’s faithful packed every seat, curious to see how their new English signing, Marcus Rashford, would adapt to the weight of the Blaugrana shirt — a jersey worn by some of the greatest footballers in history.
From the opening whistle, Rashford’s movement had the crowd on edge. Sharp runs. Quick touches. The confidence of a player who didn’t come to just fit in — but to stand out. And then, in the 62nd minute, it happened.
A perfectly timed through ball split the defence, and Rashford pounced. One touch to control. One to finish. The net rippled, and the Camp Nou erupted. His first goal in his first official appearance for Barcelona. The dream debut.
But just as the chants echoed around the stadium, Rashford approached the cameras, his face calm yet determined. He leaned in and delivered a line that will be remembered for years to come:
“I want to score 100.”
It wasn’t said as a joke. It wasn’t for show. It was a declaration. A challenge to himself — and perhaps a warning to La Liga’s defenders.
The crowd roared louder. Social media exploded. This was no ordinary signing. This was a statement of intent. One goal down. Ninety-nine to go. And yet… there was something in the air. Something different.
This didn’t feel like a honeymoon moment. It felt like the first page of a saga.
Could Marcus Rashford become the next name whispered in the same breath as Messi, Ronaldinho, and Eto’o?
The journey has begun. The countdown is on. And Barcelona fans might just be witnessing the birth of their next legend.
