Feyenoord prepares for Champions League opening fixture against Barcelona at Camp Nou

Summary

Feyenoord travels to Catalonia this week to face Barcelona in an opening Champions League match. Sporting director Devy Rigaux stated that the club is focusing on maintaining its tactical identity during the high-profile contest rather than solely fixating on the final score. Coach Giovani Van Bronckhorst, who previously played for Barcelona, noted the squad must adjust following the transfer of top scorer Ayase Ueda to Lille. Despite a inconsistent start to the domestic season, Feyenoord remains undefeated in away matches. The club currently aims to improve its European performance after failing to advance during last year's campaign.
