Barcelona manager Hansi Flick attributes Marcus Rashford's impressive form to a change of scenery in Spain, where the England forward has found a new lease on life. After recovering from the flu that kept him out of their 4-0 win over Athletic Bilbao, Rashford is set to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The 28-year-old has scored four out of six goals for Barca in the Champions League, including two in their previous visit to England to face Newcastle in September. Flick praises Rashford's adaptability and attributes his positive attitude to the sunny Spanish climate. 'That change for him, new football, in Barcelona, with good weather... it's incredible to see how he's always smiling,' Flick said. Meanwhile, Barca is looking to build momentum in the Champions League, where they are level on seven points with Chelsea after four matches. The team will also be bolstered by the return of Raphinha from injury, who made his first appearance in almost two months as a substitute on Saturday. Flick will closely monitor Raphinha's progress to ensure a safe return to full fitness.
