FC Barcelona put on an absolute masterclass at the Spotify Camp Nou on Wednesday evening, dismantling Dutch champions Feyenoord 5-1 to launch their 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign in grand style. Hansi Flick’s side showed no signs of slowing down their ferocious early-season rhythm, pushing their tally to an extraordinary 22 goals scored in just five matches across all competitions as they swept past Robin van Persie's side.
The Blaugrana set the tone from the opening whistle, taking the lead after just three minutes when captain Raphinha ghosted past his defender to fire past Tjark Ernst. In the 22nd minute, summer signing Karim Adeyemi marked his official Champions League debut for Barcelona by unleashing a spectacular long-range strike into the top corner to double the advantage. Raphinha struck again early in the second period, finishing off a flowing team move in the 57th minute to secure his second brace of the week following his weekend performance against Valencia.
The night was filled with milestones for Barcelona's frontline. In the 77th minute, 19-year-old superstar Lamine Yamal, donning the captain's armband in the second half, curled a exquisite free-kick over the wall to net his first-ever European goal as team captain. Although Feyenoord's Sem Steijn pulled back a consolidation goal in the 82nd minute, substitute Gabriel Jesus answered three minutes later by heading home his first Champions League goal in Blaugrana colors to wrap up a dominant 5-1 victory and send Barcelona top of the European table.
