Barcelona had an impressive start in the Champions League when they defeated Feyenoord 5-1 at Camp Nou. Coach Hansi Flick's team dominated from the start and soon created a safe gap.
Barca actively attacked right after the opening whistle. Just 3 minutes later, Raphinha coordinated with Lamine Yamal on the right wing, passed Feyenoord defenders and finished accurately, opening the score 1-0.
In the 22nd minute, the gap was increased to 2-0. Karim Adeyemi dribbled the ball from the left wing into the center before making a beautiful curling shot into the far corner, giving the opponent's goalkeeper no chance to save.
The home team continued to create many chances in the rest of the first half. Joao Cancelo hit the post in the 40th minute, missing the opportunity to increase the gap.
Stepping into the second half, Barcelona still completely controlled the game. In the 57th minute, Pedri launched an accurate through ball for Raphinha to escape and then shoot low into the far corner, increasing the score to 3-0. This is the 8th goal of the Brazilian striker after 5 matches this season.
After that, Flick successively withdrew Pedri, Dani Olmo and Raphinha from the field, but Barcelona still maintained pressure. In the 78th minute, Lamine Yamal took a beautiful free kick, putting the home team ahead 4-0.
Feyenoord got a consolation goal in the 82nd minute when Sem Steijn quickly finished in the penalty area. However, Barcelona immediately responded. Just 3 minutes later, Gabriel Jesus jumped high to head, sealing a 5-1 victory for the home team Camp Nou.
With this resounding victory, Barcelona has a perfect opening match in the 2026-2027 Champions League. In the second match, Flick's team will be guests at Galatasaray's stadium.
