Barcelona will look to begin their European campaign with a win at home
Feyenoord will aim to upset the La Liga champions and start their UCL campaign strongly
The defending La Liga champions, FC Barcelona, open their UCL season at home against Eredivisie side Feyenoord on Wednesday, September 9, at 10:15 PM IST.
Barca, under manager Hansi Flick, have won La Liga in consecutive seasons and are sitting comfortably at the top of the Spanish top division yet again, with four wins.
But it’s Europe’s top competition that has eluded them since 2015. Over the past two seasons, they have reached the semi-finals in 2024-25 and the quarter-finals in 2025-26, losing to Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid, respectively.
Feyenoord finished second in the Eredivisie in the 2025-26 season and qualified for the Champions League league phase this season.
They had to play the third qualifying round in the 2025-26 Champions League after finishing third in the Eredivisie in 2024-25, but lost to Fenerbahce and subsequently played in the Europa League.
They finished 29th in the Europa League league phase. Giovanni van Bronckhorst is now in charge of Feyenoord after replacing Robin van Persie in the summer. They are currently third in this season’s Eredivisie table.
This is a rare meeting between Barcelona and Feyenoord. Both teams have played each other twice before, and that was way back in the second round of the 1974-75 European Cup.
The Catalan giants won the tie 3-0 on aggregate after a 0-0 draw in Rotterdam and a 3-0 win in Barcelona. Feyenoord have never won away against Barcelona in European competition.
