UCL: Ruthless Raphinha inspires Barcelona to Feyenoord win

Raphinha led the charge for Barcelona in their Champions League win over Feyenoord, netting a brace to inspire the Spanish side's attacking display. Gabriel Jesus, on his debut for the Catalan giants, added a goal late in the match to further bolster the home team's efforts. Raphinha's prowess was on full display early on, as he dazzled his way past two defenders before securing Barcelona's lead in the third minute.

This marked the Brazilian's seventh goal in five outings, showcasing his consistent scoring form this season. Feyenoord, managed by former Barcelona star Giovanni van Bronckhorst, had a penalty appeal rejected after Anis Hadj Moussa was fouled inside the box in the 20th minute. Barcelona extended their lead in the 20th minute through Karim Adeyemi's impressive curling shot, which the young German player celebrated with his signature backflip.

Raphinha added a second goal in the 57th minute, with his eighth goal of the season, reinforcing Barcelona's dominance. Lamine Yamal added a fourth goal in the 77th minute with a precise free-kick, marking the seventh clean sheet in five games for Barcelona this season. Despite their impressive performance, Barcelona remains without a clean sheet in the competition since April 2025, as substitute Sem Steijn scored a consolation goal for Feyenoord in the 82nd minute.
