Yamal scores as Barcelona routs Feyenoord 5-1 in Champions League. Demirović nets hat trick
PUBLISHED Sep 9, 2026, 3:33 PM ET
Barcelona commenced their UEFA Champions League campaign with a dominant five-one victory over Feyenoord at Camp Nou on Wednesday. Raphinha opened the scoring within three minutes and added a second in the fifty-seventh minute to cement his prolific early season form. Teenage star Lamine Yamal contributed with a twenty-meter left-footed free kick through the defensive wall in the seventy-seventh minute. New signings Karim Adeyemi and Gabriel Jesus also scored to complete the comfortable win for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side. In other matches, Stuttgart forward Ermedin Demirović netted a first-half hat trick during a three-one win against Viking. The early fixtures exhibited an unusually high scoring rate across the competition, building on last season's historical average. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain prepared to host Slovan Bratislava following a slow domestic start, while Arsenal and Liverpool also initiated their respective European schedules in a packed opening week of continental tournament football.
