Rashford's Aston Villa were knocked out of the Champions League after a 5-4 aggregate defeat to PSG. The English striker started in the centre-forward position in this match. He contributed 1 assist for Ezri Konsa to score.
Despite not being able to score directly, Rashford still proved to be a big threat to PSG's defense. Former player Sturridge highly appreciated Rashford's performance.
"Before joining, fans thought Rashford was no longer the player he used to be, then Ruben Amorim was right (when he crossed Rashford out). But Rashford proved the opposite. He chose to go to Aston Villa and turned the predictions upside down. As a footballer, sometimes a coach doesn't believe in you, you have to prove yourself good enough," Sturridge analyzed.

Rashford made his mark against PSG. |
Against PSG, Rashford created 4 scoring chances and successfully dribbled the ball 4 times. The English striker almost scored if his shot into the top corner had not been blocked by Gianluigi Donnarumma. Rashford's dribbling and acceleration ability repeatedly caused difficulties for the Ligue 1 club's defense.
This is not the first time Rashford has caused trouble for PSG. He scored a penalty against the French club in the 90+4 minute away from home in the 2019 Champions League. This goal helped MU advance, while PSG was eliminated bitterly.
Despite not being able to help Aston Villa progress far in Europe this year, Rashford's performances have proven that he is still one of those players capable of making the difference against big opponents.
