Barcelona manager Hansi Flick praised Marcus Rashford after the forward's goal secured a 1-0 victory over Getafe on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. The win moved Barcelona closer to retaining their La Liga title, extending their lead at the top of the table.
Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, scored the decisive goal in the 67th minute, a powerful strike from outside the box. The goal was his 12th in La Liga this season, contributing significantly to Barcelona's campaign.
Flick said in the post-match press conference, 'Marcus showed his quality today. He's been a key player for us, and this goal could be crucial in the title race.' Barcelona now lead second-placed Real Madrid by eight points with five matches remaining.
The victory was Barcelona's fourth consecutive win, keeping them on track for a second straight league title under Flick. The team's next match is against Real Sociedad on May 2, 2026.
