Key points

AI summary

Barcelona's Youth League campaign got off to a disappointing start as Pol Planas's side lost 2-1 to Feyenoord in a fixture postponed from Wednesday due to severe weather in Catalonia. Two defensive lapses proved costly: Zinhagel opened the scoring in the ninth minute, and Schaken doubled the lead shortly after.

Barcelona dominated possession in the second half and reduced the deficit through Vicens's penalty in the 75th minute. A numerical advantage from the 80th minute onwards—when Haps was sent off—gave them late momentum, but they could not break through again.
