Rashford wins over himself

Like the fire that burned against PSG in the Champions League, Marcus Rashford continued to shine, asserting his position in the Aston Villa shirt. Erasing doubts about stability, the match on the morning of April 16 at Villa Park showed that the potential fire in Rashford is still smoldering, just waiting for the opportunity to explode strongly once he regains his confidence to be himself.

Justice for Rashford

Moving to Aston Villa on loan in January after leaving Manchester United, Rashford had to overcome many obstacles. However, this change gave him a ticket to the Champions League - the holy land where stars like Rashford always yearn to shine. The match against PSG, therefore, was not just a normal match but also a golden opportunity for him to affirm his name.

Rashford proved that he has not lost his form. Despite a difficult start to the match, the striker played better and better, showing impressive signs of a comeback.

His powerful ball handling, his defense-splitting passes, culminating in an assist for Ezri Konsa to make it 3-2, gave hope to the fans at Villa Park. If he had had a little more scoring luck, Rashford could have turned the game around.

Although he did not directly put his name on the scoreboard, Rashford's effortless performance earned him well-deserved praise, including recognition from the legendary Wayne Rooney. The former Manchester United star even affirmed that Rashford had "transformed", playing football with his inherent class.

This is a remarkable change, because before that, many people questioned Rashford's form after he moved to Villa, when his previous appearances were quite lackluster. Therefore, Rooney's praise is like an exclamation mark confirming Rashford's impressive return to form.

Rashford proves he's still worth it.

Rashford was one of the standout performers on the pitch that night in Birmingham. His stats showed he created the most dangerous chances with four key passes, four successful dribbles and two clear-cut shooting chances.

In particular, in such an important match, Rashford's ability to create and lead the game showed that he has the potential to become a key factor for Villa in the future. However, a confusing decision was made in the final minutes of the match when coach Unai Emery took off Rashford, who was playing well, to make way for Ollie Watkins.

This change has caused quite a bit of surprise. Although Rashford is showing signs of recovery and has just had an impressive performance, Emery's decision may have come from careful consideration of fitness or tactics.

Rashford needs to maintain consistent form

Despite his excellent performance, the question is whether Rashford can maintain this form for the rest of the season. Consistency is always a big issue for players with the explosive ability of Rashford.

The PSG game was one of the few times in the past 18 months that he has shown his exceptional talent, but Emery has reason to expect continued improvement from Rashford, especially with Villa fighting to secure Champions League football next season.

Rashford gradually regained his form.

Rashford still has a lot to prove. His consistency will determine his long-term future at Villa Park. Villa also have the option to buy Rashford for £40m - a reasonable price considering his potential and what he can bring to the team.

“If Rashford feels comfortable and happy, we will be happy. He played a great game today, but the issue of signing a long-term contract depends on many factors. We will have to wait,” said coach Emery.

While Rashford’s future at Villa remains up in the air, the PSG game showed that he can add a lot of value to the team. If he can maintain this form in the coming weeks, Rashford will be one of the brightest stars to help Aston Villa reach greater heights in the future.

Goals in the match Aston Villa defeated PSG In the early morning of April 16, Aston Villa defeated PSG 3-2 but was still eliminated with a total score of 5-4 in the Champions League quarter-finals.
