Raphinha and Yamal Shine as Barcelona Crush Feyenoord 5-1 in Champions League Opener

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona launched their 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign in devastating fashion, crushing Feyenoord 5-1 at a rain-soaked Camp Nou. The victory extends Barcelona's astonishing early-season form, marking the fourth time they have scored five goals in a match this season.

The hosts needed just three minutes to open the scoring when captain Raphinha cleverly bypassed two defenders to slot home [4574250, cwyznkd209xo]. Summer signing Karim Adeyemi then doubled the lead in the 22nd century with a spectacular long-range rocket, netting his first Champions League goal for the Catalan club.

Barcelona maintained control after the break. Raphinha grabbed his second in the 57th minute after burying a precise through-ball from Pedri. Lamine Yamal then made it 4-0 in the 77th minute, curling a brilliant direct free-kick past the Feyenoord wall.

Although Feyenoord’s Jeyland Mitchell pulled one back in the 82nd minute, Barcelona responded instantly. Three minutes later, Yamal turned provider, delivering a trademark cross for Gabriel Jesus to head home his debut goal for the club. The emphatic 5-1 victory places Barcelona firmly among the early tournament favorites.
