The Englishman was more inclined to hug the touchline compared to the Brazilian, who often slid inside and helped Barça form a box midfield to overwhelm Vissel Kobe centrally. Rashford also moved infield but rarely had the chance to receive possession on the back foot and drive at the Vissel defense.

Barcelona’s newest addition, Marcus Rashford, made his unofficial debut in Blaugrana colours during the club’s first pre-season friendly against Vissel Kobe.

Interestingly, one small change could come in goal, with new signing Joan Garcia replacing Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who has been ruled out due to surgery and is no longer a part of Flick’s plans.
