On Wednesday, Barcelona began their Champions League campaign with a decisive 5-1 victory against Feyenoord at Camp Nou. Raphinha opened the scoring just three minutes into the match and later added a second goal, showcasing his impressive form with eight goals in five games.
Karim Adeyemi, who replaced Anthony Gordon, scored a brilliant long-range goal to double Barcelona's lead. Lamine Yamal also contributed with a free-kick goal.
After Sem Steijn pulled one back for Feyenoord, Gabriel Jesus, a summer signing from Arsenal, scored the fifth goal, marking his first goal for Barcelona. The match was played under challenging weather conditions, with rain affecting the pitch.
