Managed by Hansi Flick, Barcelona are hoping to win the European Cup for the first time since 2015 and after over a decade of waiting, they look stronger than ever as fans hope this is their season. 

It has been over 50 years since Barcelona and Feyenoord last met in the European Cup, in 1974 and ahead of the clash, the La Liga are firm favourites to pick up 3 points. 

Feyenoord last played in the Champions League proper in 2024-25, making the round of 16, where they were beaten 4-1 on aggregate by Inter Milan. Meanwhile, Barcelona were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the 2025-26 competition by Atletico Madrid
