Barcelona 5-1 Feyenoord: Raphinha and Yamal shine in Champions League opener (full highlights)

Barcelona made a stunning start to their Champions League campaign with a dominant 5-1 victory over Feyenoord at the Spotify Camp Nou, sending a clear message to the rest of the competition. The hosts were relentless from the very first minute, overwhelming the Dutch side with their fluid attacking football and clinical finishing. Raphinha opened the scoring on just 3 minutes after a perfectly weighted cross from Lamine Yamal, the Brazilian cutting inside and firing past the helpless Feyenoord goalkeeper. Karim Adeyemi doubled the lead on 22 minutes, finishing emphatically from Joao Cancelo's delivery after a slick move down the right flank. Feyenoord struggled to contain Barcelona's movement, with Charles Vanhoutte receiving a yellow card on 27 minutes for a cynical foul. In the second half, Barcelona continued their dominance, with Raphinha scoring his second goal of the night on 57 minutes after a brilliant combination with Pedri in the final third. Lamine Yamal scored his first ever Champions League goal on 77 minutes, a moment of history for the teenage prodigy, making it 4-0. Sem Steijn pulled one back for the visitors on 82 minutes from Gonçalo Borges' pass, but any hopes of a comeback were quickly extinguished when Gabriel Jesus restored the four-goal advantage just three minutes later, finishing from Yamal's superb assist. The statistics highlight Barcelona's total dominance: 21 shots with 9 on target and 68% possession. Lamine Yamal was named man of the match with a goal and two assists. With three points, Barcelona top the group stage table. Can Hansi Flick's men maintain this momentum against Borussia Dortmund next week?
