Barcelona 3-0 Feyenoord
On comes Shaqueel van Persie to replace Nacho Ferri.
Yes, that is the son of Robin.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 19:07 BST 9 September
Barcelona 3-0 Feyenoord
VAR has a good long look at it and it's ruled out for offside.
It looked close but it Gjivai Zechiel who was off in the build up.
GOAL - Barcelona 3-1 Feyenoordpublished at 19:04 BST 9 September
Nacho Ferri (59 mins)
Feyenoord have one back!
Oussama Targhalline carries the ball into the box and it falls to Nacho Ferri, who slides into the bottom corner.
Hang on, there is a question of offside...
GOAL - Barcelona 3-0 Feyenoordpublished at 19:03 BST 9 September
Raphinha (57 mins)
He just can't stop scoring!
It's a glorious pass from Pedri in the middle of the park and Raphinha times his run to perfection before calmly slotting into the bottom corner.
A lovely finish but poor defending from Feyenoord.
Raphinha won't care, it's eight goals in four games.

Stuttgart 3-1 Viking
Woah woah. It's kicking off a bit in Stuttgart.
Referee Nenad Minakovic immediately brandishes a yellow card to Joe Bell for a shirt tug and it just starts to spill over.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 19:02 BST 9 September
Barcelona 2-0 Feyenoord
Nacho Ferri has the ball in the back of the net but it won't count.
He wriggles free and beats goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who should have perhaps done better at smothering the ball, before finishing into an open goal.
But he was miles offside.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:59 BST 9 September
Barcelona 2-0 Feyenoord
Raphinha picks the ball up in the box and tries the little dummy that saw him bag the first goal but this time he runs into traffic.
Dani Olmo goes into the book for a foul on Oussama Targhalline.

Peter Christiansen goes into the book for a cheeky flicked foot on Bilal El Khannouss.

Stuttgart 3-1 Viking
What a start to the second half this has been for Viking. Peter Christiansen dives for Henrik Bjordal's ball but his header is just all-out power and no direction and it flings off target.
Postpublished at 18:55 BST 9 September
Barcelona 2-0 Feyenoord
Lamine Yamal has the ball in the box but he's swarmed by blue Feyenoord shirts every time he gets in those areas.
No magic footwork to get him out of trouble on this occasion.
Postpublished at 18:54 BST 9 September
Barcelona 2-0 Feyenoord
Karim Adeyemi fancies a second goal and he's looking for a similar thing to his first goal but he doesn't get enough bend on it and it flies wide of the post.

PSG make poor start to seasonpublished at 18:48 BST 9 September
PSG v Slovan Bratislava (20:00 BST)
PSG are hunting for history this season as they look to join Real Madrid in becoming the only side to be crowned Champions of Europe three years in a row in the Champions League era.
But incredibly, Luis Enrique's French champions are yet to win this season.
In their three Ligue 1 games, they've drawn two and lost the most recent one at home to Monaco.

Liverpool v Atletico Madrid (20:00 BST)

Argentina were beaten in the World Cup final and he wasn't able to force a move to Barcelona in the transfer window.
But, will he make the booing Atletico fans happy tonight?

Napoli v Arsenal (20:00 BST)
Runners-up Arsenal were the only team that didn’t lose a single game in normal time in the 2025-26 Champions League (W11 D4 L0).
The Gunners only trailed for 42 minutes and 48 seconds across the previous edition, which was also the fewest of any team.
Raphinha continued his remarkable goalscoring start to the season with another double as Barcelona turned on the style against Feyenoord in the Champions League.
Former Arsenal and Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus got off the mark with his first Barcelona goal late in the game, by which point his fellow Brazilian had given the home side a tight grip.
In-form Raphinha produced an outrageous moment of skill to take out two opponents before calmly stroking his side into a third-minute lead.
That was Raphinha's seventh goal in five games, with the former Leeds United player finding the back of the net in all five matches this season.
Feyenoord are managed by Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who was a Champions League winner in 2005-06 with Barcelona, and the Dutch side had appeals for a penalty waved away when Anis Hadj Moussa went down inside the box in the 20th minute.
Moments later Barcelona doubled their lead through Karim Adeyemi's 20-yard curling finish into the top right corner, which the summer recruit from Borussia Dortmund celebrated with a trademark back-flip celebration.
Barcelona's third came when Raphinha fired across the keeper in the 57th minute after a well-timed run - his eighth goal of the campaign and the third time in five games he has scored twice.
Free-scoring Barcelona added a fourth with Lamine Yamal's 77th-minute free-kick, but they are still seeking a first clean sheet in the competition since April 2025 after substitute Sem Steijn grabbed an 82nd-minute consolation.
Barca added a fifth through Gabriel Jesus, who arrived from Arsenal at the start of the month and headed in his new team's 22nd goal in five games this season.

Match Facts
The only previous meetings between Barcelona and Feyenoord came in the last 16 of the 1974-75 European Cup, with the Spanish side progressing 3-0 on aggregate (0-0 away, 3-0 at home).
No Dutch side has ever won away to Barcelona in European competition (D3 L7), while the Spanish team have averaged 3.1 goals per game across these 10 previous fixtures (31 goals in total).
This will be the 21st time that Barcelona have played their opening game of a European Cup/UEFA Champions League campaign at home – they have won 18 of the previous 20 (D1 L1), with their only defeat coming against Bayern Munich in 2021-22 (0-3).
Feyenoord lost five games in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League (their most recent appearance), their joint-most defeats in single edition of the competition (along with 2017-18).
Among managers with 10+ games in the UEFA Champions League, Hansi Flick has both the highest win percentage (72.7%) and the highest goals per game ratio (3). Indeed, since he took over at Barcelona in 2024, the Catalan side have scored the most goals per game of any side in the competition (2.88 – 75 in 26 games).
This will be Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s third season as a manager in the UEFA Champions League, after 2017-18 with current club Feyenoord (P6 W1 L5) and Rangers in 2022-23 (P6 L6). He has lost 11 of his previous 12 matches in the competition.
Barcelona are currently on their longest ever run without a clean sheet in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (15 games). Their last shutout in the competition was in April 2025 against Borussia Dortmund (4-0), conceding 30 goals in 15 matches since then.
Since the start of the 2024-25 campaign, only Harry Kane (29) has been directly involved in more goals than Raphinha (26 – 16 goals, 10 assists) in the UEFA Champions League. Indeed, he is the only player with 10+ goals and 10+ assists in this period.
19-year-old Shaqueel van Persie could make his UEFA Champions League debut for Feyenoord, following in the footsteps of his father Robin, who was also 19 when he debuted in the competition for the Dutch side (October 2002 v Dynamo Kyiv).
Barcelona’s Rodri has only ended on the losing side in eight of his 62 career games in the UEFA Champions League (W41 D13). His loss percentage (12.9%) is the lowest of any midfielder to make 50+ appearances in the competition.
