Barcelona Player Ratings: Yamal and Raphinha shine with 9/10s as Jesus arrived in win over Feyenoord

Barcelona made a statement on the opening night of their Champions League campaign, sweeping aside Feyenoord 5-1 at Camp Nou with an attacking display full of quality and confidence.

Raphinha led the charge with two goals, while Karim Adeyemi marked his first European appearance for the Catalans with a stunning strike.

Lamine Yamal added a superb free-kick before Gabriel Jesus came off the bench to complete the rout with his first Barcelona goal. Here are the player ratings from the emphatic victory.

Player Ratings

Joan Garcia — 6.5/10

Garcia had little to do for long periods but remained composed when called upon. He made some useful interventions, although a couple of unnecessary mistakes offered Feyenoord encouragement.

Joao Cancelo — 7.5/10

Cancelo looked comfortable defensively while providing an attacking outlet from the flank. He also claimed the assist for Adeyemi’s spectacular goal.

Andreas Christensen — 6.5/10

Christensen produced a calm and assured display at centre-back. His positioning, distribution and experience helped Barcelona maintain control throughout the contest.

Pau Cubarsi — 7/10

Cubarsi once again showed maturity beyond his years. He played an important role in Barcelona’s buildup and moved the ball forward quickly from defence.

Jules Kounde — 7/10

Kounde responded well to recent criticism with a much-improved performance. He defended reliably and contributed going forward, though he switched off for Feyenoord’s goal.

Rodri — 7/10

Rodri quietly dominated the midfield battle. His positioning and ball recoveries allowed Barcelona to regain possession quickly and gave Pedri greater freedom higher up the pitch.

Pedri — 7.5/10

Pedri was outstanding between the lines, repeatedly creating openings with his passing. His superb assist for Raphinha’s second goal capped another influential performance.

Dani Olmo — 6.5/10

Olmo struggled to match the attacking influence of Fermin Lopez but offered control and composure in midfield. His contribution was steady rather than spectacular.

Karim Adeyemi — 7.5/10

Adeyemi provided pace, aggression and shooting threat on his Champions League debut for Barcelona. His brilliant long-range finish was the highlight of an encouraging display.

Raphinha — 9/10

Raphinha once again delivered when Barcelona needed him. He struck inside three minutes before adding another after the break, underlining his importance as captain and match-winner.

Lamine Yamal — 9/10

Yamal gradually grew into the contest before producing his magic. His magnificent free-kick and superb cross for Jesus’ goal completed an influential attacking performance.

Substitute

Gabriel Jesus — 7/10

Jesus needed just one touch after coming on to score his first Barcelona goal, converting Yamal’s cross with a well-directed header.
