FC Barcelona wasted approximately zero time making a statement in their 2026-27 Champions League campaign. Raphinha found the net inside the opening three minutes against Feyenoord, and Karim Adeyemi doubled the lead before the half-hour mark, sending Spotify Camp Nou into a state of controlled euphoria at the break.
The scoreline flatters no one. Barcelona dominated possession at roughly 74-75% through the first 45 minutes, turning Feyenoord’s visit to Catalonia into something closer to a training exercise than a continental knockout-stage audition.
Two goals, two different flavors of quality
Raphinha’s opener arrived in the second minute. Pedri sparked a rapid counterattack that found Lamine Yamal in space, and the teenager laid the ball off for Raphinha, who placed a left-footed finish with the kind of precision that makes goalkeepers question their career choices.
The second goal came in the 21st minute. João Cancelo found Adeyemi lurking outside the box, and the former Borussia Dortmund forward struck a right-footed drive that gave the Feyenoord goalkeeper the kind of viewing angle usually reserved for spectators.
