Rashford's unbelievable shot wide in front of an empty goal

Barcelona produced a devastating performance against Como FC in the Joan Gamper Cup friendly, winning 5-0. However, the highlight of the match was not the goals but an unbelievable miss from new signing Marcus Rashford.

Trusted by coach Hansi Flick to start, the English striker had a pretty good performance, even assisting Raphinha to score. But just before the end of the first half, when Barcelona were leading 4-0, Rashford made a move that no one expected.

After a delicate through ball from Lamine Yamal, Rashford deftly dribbled past goalkeeper Jean Butez and even a defender. But his final shot in front of an empty net inexplicably went wide of the post. The entire Johan Cruyff Stadium and Rashford himself were stunned. Some of his teammates even held their heads in amazement.

Immediately, social media exploded with sarcastic and regretful comments: "Miss of the season from Rashford?", "We'll pretend Rashford didn't miss that shot", or "Rashford haters will celebrate this missed shot all week".

At 27, Rashford is hoping to rediscover his best form in Spain after a poor spell at Man United. He was loaned out to Aston Villa in the second half of last season, scoring four goals in 17 games. With a Barcelona squad brimming with life and depth, Rashford is expected to "revive" and flourish.

The 5-0 win over Como was a perfect warm-up for Barcelona before the new season. Although Rashford's miss was regrettable, fans believe that he will soon find his scoring touch and shine at Camp Nou.
