Barcelona began their 2026/27 Champions League journey in commanding fashion, beating Feyenoord 5-1 at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Raphinha netted a brace — opening the scoring after only two minutes following a Lamine Yamal assist, then adding a second goal in the second half from a perfectly weighted Pedri through ball.
Karim Adeyemi produced a stunning long-range effort in the 21st minute, set up by João Cancelo.
Flick’s team dominated proceedings with roughly 70% possession, generating plenty of opportunities while restricting Feyenoord to minimal threat.
One Feyenoord strike was correctly disallowed for offside. Overall, it was a composed and efficient display that highlighted Barcelona’s impressive start to the season.
