The milestone was the crowning moment of a commanding performance by the Spanish champions, who maintained their blistering form to open their European campaign in style. Barcelona’s attacking prowess was on full display throughout the evening, with the team netting five goals for the fourth time in just five competitive matches this season.
A Dominant Display at the Camp Nou
Raphinha set the tone for the match early on, breaking the deadlock in the third minute. The Brazilian forward showcased his quality by executing a clever dummy to bypass two defenders before clinicaly finding the bottom corner. Barcelona doubled their lead midway through the first half when Karim Adeyemi cut inside from the left flank and curled a precise finish into the far corner of the net.
Feyenoord struggled to find a foothold in the game, with their best opportunity before the interval coming from Anis Hadj Moussa, whose close-range effort was comfortably gathered by goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Barcelona continued to press, with Yamal narrowly missing the target with a curling strike and Joao Cancelo rattling the post as the hosts looked to extend their advantage.
Yamal Leaves His Mark as Barcelona Pull Away
After the break, Raphinha secured his second goal of the night, latching onto a well-weighted pass from Pedri to slot home his eighth goal in five appearances. Although Feyenoord thought they had found a way back into the contest through Nacho Ferri, a lengthy VAR intervention ruled the effort out for offside.
Following his promotion to captain, Yamal added his name to the scoresheet with a composed 20-yard free-kick that pierced the Feyenoord wall. While Sem Steijn managed to pull a goal back for the visitors, Barcelona quickly restored their four-goal cushion when substitute Gabriel Jesus headed home a precise delivery from the new captain. The defeat extends Feyenoord’s difficult run in Europe, marking their 12th consecutive away match without a victory in continental competition.
