Rashford Has Been Telling Me About Barcelona – Gordon

England forward Anthony Gordon has opened up about his blockbuster £70m move from Newcastle to Barcelona. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Revealing the private role Rashford played in the transition, Gordon stated that the MUFC forward has been acting as a mentor following his own 2025-26 loan spell with the Catalan giants.

Anthony added that he is determined to prove that he belongs among the elite at the Camp Nou.

His words, “He was just telling me how good the lads are there, the team spirit that they have, which I heard already from the people in Barca.

So I’m really looking forward to joining up with them. He was also telling me about the city, places to live. He’s a lovely guy, very caring. So he was just giving me a bit of information.

I couldn’t care less. I think if you go through this team, you could put any player 1-11. We’re all good enough. We’ve all got a case to feel like we’re the best in many ways.

I think even when you have two days off football, you feel like you never played a game. It’s crazy. You lose your touch, you lose everything. So not playing for a couple of weeks was difficult, but I’ve trained really well. I was fitter than I thought in that game. I’m on track really well, really.

It’s difficult because the pitch was dry. So even getting your touch right and just getting used to that was tough. But we got there, still thought we created some chances. We haven’t played together for a while. So it’s just getting back in that rhythm.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
