Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick, has explained why he took Marcus Rashford off during the half time of their 3-2 win over Levante on Saturday.
Flick had handed Rashford his first start for the LaLiga champions.
But the 27-year-old was replaced by Raphinha as the second half began.
Flick was forced into changing his gameplan as Barca trailed 2-0 at the interval.
His changes proved decisive as they produced a stunning comeback with a late Unai Elgezabal own goal putting the seal on a 3-2 win.
When asked about his decision to substitute Rashford, Flick said: “He showed us how good he is.
“In the second half, I had to change things and put Raphinha back in the starting eleven. Fortunately, Pedri ‘s goal helped us.”
