Barcelona’s striker Marcus Rashford wants to win more titles with Barcelona after the Spanish Supercopa win. The Catalan club defeated arch-rivals Real Madrid by 3-2 at King Abdullah Sports City on Sunday. Rashford came off the bench in Barca’s win and was delighted to see his team get over the line.
The England striker is on loan at Barça from Manchester United until the end of the campaign, but the LaLiga leaders have an option to make the deal permanent for around €30 million ($35m) in the summer.
“I am very happy today,” Rashford told reporters during the celebrations in Jeddah.
“It’s the first trophy [with Barça] and it’s always the best feeling to win the first one. I hope now we can win some more. I hope it’s not the last one.
“It was a top performance. This is what we’re capable of doing. There are still areas to improve, but we can enjoy this moment today.”
In 27 appearances this season for Barcelona, Rashford has scored seven goals and provided 11 assists from a left wing role.
“It’s really good [being at the club],” Rashford added.
“When we win, it makes it so much easier. Throughout the season, even in moments when we have not played so well, we stick together and act as a team. For me, it’s perfect and I am really enjoying my time here.”
At the fag end of the match, Rashford had a chance to put the game to bed but his shot went wide.
“Almost, but [I had] no energy in the legs,” he joked when asked about his opportunity to seal the win before Madrid spurned two late chances to take the tie to penalties.
“I was close, but this is the message, to come on and create actions, try and score goals. In the last moments, we could and we should score.”
Barcelona will next take on Racing in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey on Thursday.
