Former Manchester United out-of-favour striker Marcus Rashford made his debut as Barcelona thrashed nine-man Mallorca 3-0 in their La Liga 2025/26 season opener.
Rashford came on in the 69th minute for his Barcelona debut, as the Catalan side began their title defence with a firm statement.
Rashford, who is on a season-long loan from ManU, became the first English player to feature for the first team in a competitive game since Gary Lineker in 1989.
The 27-year-old played as a centre-forward but did not have any chances to score .Raphinha nodded in the opener following a fine right-wing cross from Lamine Yamal.
Ferran Torres smashed in their second goal, while Mallorca captain Antonio Raillo was lying on the ground in the box with a head injury after blocking a Yamal shot.
And Vedat Muriqi was sent off for a high boot on debutant Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia, a decision upgraded from a yellow card after a video assistant referee (VAR) review.
It took Barcelona 60 minutes, including stoppage time, to score past the nine men, Yamal hammering in their third goal with almost the last kick.
