Raphinha let his goals do the talking after being omitted from the Ballon d’Or shortlist, striking twice as Barcelona eased to a 5-1 win over Feyenoord in the Champions League. The Brazilian was a surprise omission from this week’s 30-strong list of candidates for the prestigious award but brushed any disappointment aside to continue his early season hot streak at a rain-soaked Nou Camp. The forward finished brilliantly in the third minute and added a second just before the hour mark to down the Eredivisie side and take his personal tally to eight goals in six outings at the start of the 2026/27 campaign. Raphinha's routine. 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/b20GFJFFOc — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) September 9, 2026 Summer signing Karim Adeyemi produced a stunning finish, Lamine Yamal stroked a free-kick through a gap in the Dutch wall and recent arrival Gabriel Jesus opened his account for the club just two minutes after stepping off the bench. There was little to celebrate for Giovanni van Bronckhorst on his Barca return but Sem Steijn gave the visiting fans something to enjoy when he poked in at far post late on. The heavy downpour saw a significant number of fans seek shelter away from their seats but it did not hinder Barcelona’s ability to produce stylish football. The game had only just started to settle when Lamine Yamal touched an angled ball back inside for Raphinha, whose deft touch took him past Tsuyoshi Watanabe. What followed was even better as he held his run to fox two Feyenoord defenders, who both slid the wrong way in comical fashion while he lined up a smooth low finish. Hadj Moussa hit back with a penalty shout at the other end, tumbling as he raced between Joao Cancelo and Pau Cubarsi, but was turned down by the referee. Barca doubled their lead in the 22nd minute, Adeyemi running the ball infield from the left flank and taking advantage of some sluggish defending. Still unchallenged 20 yards from goal, the former Borussia Dortmund man bent a fantastic finish into the far corner. The pressure kept coming, a rapid counter-attack building from the back and only ending with a trip on Raphinha as he threatened to go clear. The free-kick was shuttled to Yamal, who went close with a left-footed curler. Yamal was becoming a menace, putting a dragback through his marker’s legs after turning him inside out, and had a penalty appeal rejected as he looked to complete a one-two with Dani Olmo. Moussa drew a save from Joan Garcia at the near post as he continued to serve as a bright spot for Feyenoord but moments later Cancelo was rapping the outside of the post as normal service resumed. Barca’s third came 12 minutes into the second half, courtesy of a wonderfully perceptive pass through the centre by Pedri. Raphinha read it perfectly and took two touches before a third ended in the bottom corner. Just 90 seconds later Barca were relieved to see a smart finish from Nacho Ferri ruled out for an offside earlier in the move. The inevitable Yamal strike followed, the defensive wall parting in the middle as he picked the gap. Steijn got the consolation as he arrived at the far post to finish Goncalo Borges’ fine work but Jesus made it five for the hosts in a late cameo, flicking in a smart header.
