Barcelona vs Feyenoord: Yamal sends Ballon d'Or warning as Flick's men hit 5 again

Hansi Flick's Barcelona were looking to replicate their outstanding league form by starting their UCL campaign with a statement win at home against Feyenoord, and they did just that, starting the game in explosive fashion.

Raphinha, operating as Barcelona's central striker, was the chief tormentor in the first half, opening the scoring after just 6 minutes.

The Brazilian, who has now scored eight goals in his first five games of the season, was at his ruthless best, combining with Pedri to slice through a Feyenoord defence for his second, after Karim Adeyemi had scored a stunner before half-time.

Despite Raphinha's fine performance, Lamine Yamal was the star of the show.

The Spanish teenager delivered a moment of pure brilliance on 77 minutes, stepping up to a free kick on the edge of the box and curling an unstoppable effort through the middle of the wall and into the bottom corner to make it 4-0.

Gabriel Jesus added a fifth late on before Steijn pulled one back for the Dutch side with a tidy finish in stoppage time, but it was far too little, far too late.

Barcelona have now scored 22 goals in five games across all competitions this season, with at least 5 goals in four of the five matches.
