Is Barcelona s plan B reliable? After Rashford s empty goal was not in, a question mark covers Camp Nou

Backed by Marcus Rashford from Manchester United against the backdrop of fiscal austerity, it is regarded as a smart Plan B operation in Barcelona. However, after the bizarre empty goal in the Gamble Cup, a huge question mark was shrouding over the Camp Nou: Is this Plan B really reliable?

Flick's wishful thinking

signed him, and coach Flick's abacus was very good. On the one hand, the lease with a buyout option has extremely little financial risk. On the other hand, Rashford's comprehensiveness allows him to not only provide competition for the wing, but also to reach No. 9 when the 36-year-old Lewandowski needs a rest.

A blank door that shook confidence did not enter

However, in the match against Como, this wishful thinking suffered a heavy blow from reality.

While drifting past the goalkeeper and facing the empty goal, Rashford missed the ball strangely. Just when the whole team was full of confidence in him, this mistake would undoubtedly shake the confidence he had just established, and also make the outside world's doubts about his sense of smell in front of the door become rampant again.

Can he really replace Lewandowski? This is the biggest paradox facing Barcelona at present. When Lewandowski was absent due to injury and urgently needed a reliable shooter to top, Rashford, who was highly anticipated, showed his most unstable and lacking instinct for killers.

Will Barcelona's gambling against him ultimately get surprises or will it become another burden on the team's reconstruction? The new season will be answered.
