Marcus Rashford was included in the Barcelona starting<\/a> XI and Hansi Flick deployed the on-loan Manchester United<\/a> forward out on the left-hand side of attack.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old United loanee had an impact in the first half against Paris Saint-Germain after Rashford<\/a> picked up an assist for Barcelona\u2019s opener in Spain.<\/p>\n

Rashford received the ball out on the left from Pedri in a dangerous Barcelona attack and the former Aston Villa forward played a low ball across the PSG box.<\/p>\n

An onrushing Ferran Torres latched onto Rashford\u2019s pass and stabbed a sliding shot past Lucas Chevalier and into the bottom left corner of the PSG net.<\/p>\n

Despite taking the lead inside the opening 20 minutes at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain rallied back against Barcelona on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

PSG clinched a 2-1 win over Barcelona and walked away with all three points, with Luis Enrique coming out on top against his former side on the night.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Movistar Liga de Campeones, Hansi Flick said that Marcus Rashford was one of the players who saw the physical demands of the match take its toll.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you could see in the second half that some players were very tired. Marcus, Pedri, [Frenkie] De Jong,\u201d he explained after the match in an interview, as per Diario AS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey gave their all on the pitch. At 1-1, you have to defend better. You have to learn and improve against teams of this quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
