Barcelona Defeats Feyenoord 5-1 in Champions League Opener

Barcelona began their Champions League campaign with a decisive 5-1 victory over Feyenoord on September 9, 2026. Raphinha scored two goals, continuing his strong form, while Karim Adeyemi and Lamine Yamal also contributed to the scoreline. After Sem Steijn scored for Feyenoord, Gabriel Jesus added a fifth goal for Barcelona, marking his first since joining the team from Arsenal. Barcelona has won all five of their matches this season, scoring five goals in four of those games. Raphinha has adapted well to his new central striker role, netting eight goals in five matches. The match took place at Camp Nou, where a storm passed before the game, leading to wet conditions on the pitch. Raphinha opened the scoring just three minutes into the match, and Barcelona maintained control throughout, with Adeyemi and Yamal also finding the net. Feyenoord's goal came after a VAR review disallowed an earlier attempt for offside. The match concluded with Jesus's header sealing the victory for Barcelona.
