Laporta Optimistic Amid Rashford’s Blunder…
Barcelona boss Joan Laporta has given Marcus Rashford a thumbs-up for his potential inclusion in the La Liga squad, in the same way you’d give a thumbs-up to someone trying to squeeze a bear into a sweater. Rashford is on loan from Manchester United, juggling his career like a circus juggler, with moves from Aston Villa and now to sunny Spain. While Laporta hopes to avoid last season’s financial pitfalls, he’s confident that Rashford and newbie Joan Garcia will make Hansi Flick’s squad in time. Barcelona’s title defense kicks off against Mallorca, where hopefully the ball will find the net more often than a cat finds a laser pointer.
Rashford remains calm about the club’s registration circus, saying he’s focused on training amidst all this chaos like a duck paddling coolly above the water while chaos ensues below. During the Joan Gamper Trophy, Rashford made headlines for a miss so spectacular that it looked like he’d been trying to score into a goal filled with invisible bananas. Social media erupted like a volcano of laughter, dubbing it “the miss of the season,” though Rashford’s assist later helped Barcelona secure a triumphant win. Rashford must now wait and see if Barcelona can sort out their roster puzzles before the league starts, while also pondering why open goals seem to be his new teleportation spots.
