Marcus Rashford has been thrust into the spotlight once again—not for a goal, but for a glaring miss that has left fans in disbelief. The England international, who joined Barcelona on a summer loan from Manchester United, found himself with an open goal during the club's final pre-season clash against Como, only to fire wide in a moment that has already been labeled the "miss of the season" by supporters.
The incident occurred as Rashford, 27, showcased his skills in a 5-0 victory over the Italian side. With the score already 4-0 in favor of Barcelona, the forward rounded goalkeeper Jean Butez and was left with a clear net to aim for. However, he inexplicably missed the chance, prompting a stunned reaction as he raised his arms in disbelief.
Social media erupted with reactions, with one fan quipping, "Rashford with the miss of 25/26 already," while another declared, "This is the miss of the season." Despite the error, Rashford managed to assist Raphinha's goal later in the match, highlighting his contribution to the emphatic win.
The miss comes just days after Rashford scored his first goal for Barcelona in a friendly against South Korean side Daegu FC on August 4. However, his time at the Camp Nou remains uncertain, as the club faces ongoing challenges with LaLiga registration rules. Rashford could be among seven players potentially banned from the season opener due to financial compliance issues, adding pressure to his performance under the microscope.
While the forward’s talent is undeniable, this costly mistake has reignited debates about his readiness for the LaLiga stage. Barcelona’s management must now navigate the complexities of registering all players, a recurring issue in recent years, as they aim to finalize their squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
