Overview

• On a season-long loan from Manchester United with a purchase option, the 27-year-old had debuted off the bench in last week’s 3-0 win at Mallorca.
• Starting on the left at Levante, he and Marc Casadó were withdrawn at half-time for Dani Olmo and Gavi, with Raphinha restored to the wing.
• Barcelona overturned a 2-0 deficit through goals from Pedri and Ferran Torres before a stoppage-time own goal by Unai Elgezabal completed a 3-2 victory.
• Hansi Flick defended Rashford’s first-half contribution and said the interval substitutions were tactical to reestablish familiar roles.
• Pundits and fans were critical of the display, with Roy Keane and Gary Neville questioning his suitability for Barça’s system as competition for wide roles intensifies ahead of upcoming fixtures.
