Unbelievable! Marcus Rashford Misses Target In Wide Open Goal During FC Barcelona's Friendly Game vs Como, Leaves Raphinha Stunned; Video

English and FC Barcelona footballer Marcus Rashford made a mess of a golden goal-scoring opportunity in the pre-season friendly match against Como on Sunday. In a video surfaced on social media, the 27-year-old could not put the ball inside the goal despite the goalkeeper leaving it wide open, leaving Raphinha stunned.

The incident occurred in the first half when FC Barcelona was already 4-0 up in the contest, leaving Como quite far behind. Rashford, who had been snapped by the decorated football club on loan, took the ball by himself exceptionally well to get it past the goalkeeper. With an open goal to pounce on, Rashford missed the target by a fair distance as Raphinha's reaction went viral.

Nevertheless, the moment proved to be inconsequential in the larger scheme of things. Fermin Lopez scored a couple of goals in the 21st and 35th minute, while Raphinha did so in the 37th. Lamine Yamal, meanwhile, netted goals in the 42nd and 49th minute.

"I think he'll do great" - Owen Hargreaves on Marcus Rashford

With Rashford having also played for Manchester United previously, the English football club's icon predicted for the 27-year-old to do well, given he has got a good manager in Hansi Flick. He told TNT Sports:

"I think he'll do great. He's got one of the best managers in the world in Hansi Flick and he plays super attacking football. He's got an amazing intelligence as a manager."

Rashford notably struggled in the past few seasons for Manchester United and is reportedly hoping to revive his career for Barcelona. He also played for Aston Villa on loan and netted four goals in 17 appearances for the club.
