Barcelona vs Feyenoord Lineups September 2026 – Barcelona will begin their 2026/2027 Champions League league phase campaign with a home match against Dutch giants Feyenoord.

The match is scheduled to take place at Camp Nou on Wednesday, September 09, 2026, at 18:45 local time.

The Catalan side are aiming to win the European Cup for the first time since 2015, while Feyenoord have also enjoyed success in this competition, lifting the trophy in 1970.

Now, before the match begins, let us take a look at Mansion Sports’ predicted Barcelona vs Feyenoord lineups for September 2026 below!

Both Teams’ Conditions Ahead of the Match

Barcelona

Barcelona have been perfect in the early stages of the 2026-27 season, recording four consecutive La Liga victories over Elche, Athletic Bilbao, Rayo Vallecano and Valencia, scoring 17 goals in the process, which has placed them at the top of the standings.

Hansi Flick’s side will certainly always want more domestic success, but it could be argued that the Champions League is the trophy the club truly want to win this season.

Barcelona last won the European Cup in 2015, which was their fifth success in the tournament, but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2025-26 competition by Atletico Madrid.

The Catalan side also reached the semi-finals in 2024-25, but failed to progress further due to a fragile defense, and it remains to be seen whether their backline is strong enough to win the tournament this season, although their quality in the final third is exceptional.

Barcelona have faced Feyenoord only twice previously, both meetings taking place in the round of 16 of the 1974-75 Champions League, with the La Liga club emerging as 3-0 aggregate winners.

Feyenoord

Feyenoord are aware of the magnitude of their task in this week’s match, and a strong start to the season has seen the Dutch side remain unbeaten in five matches, recording three victories.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side, who finished second in the Eredivisie last season, will enter this match on the back of a 3-1 victory over Nijmegen, and they have actually remained unbeaten in all competitions, including friendlies, since the beginning of March.

Feyenoord famously won the European Cup in 1970, defeating Celtic 2-1 in the tournament final, with Ove Kindvall and Ruud Geels scoring a combined 13 goals between them in the 1969-70 competition.

The Stadium Club actually failed to progress from the 2025-26 Europa League league phase, while they were eliminated in the third qualifying round of the 2025-26 Champions League.

Feyenoord last played in the main phase of the Champions League in 2024-25, reaching the round of 16, where they were defeated 4-1 on aggregate by Inter Milan.

Barcelona vs Feyenoord Lineups September 2026

Barcelona (4-2-3-1)

As for Barcelona’s squad situation, Barcelona will be without Frenkie de Jong (knee), Roony Bardghji (knee) and Eric Garcia (suspension) for their European match against Feyenoord.

Jesse Bisiwu (bruise) is also doubtful, although the summer arrival has now returned to training.

Barcelona manager Flick has major decisions to make in several positions given the performances of a number of players, with Marc Bernal, Dani Olmo and Karim Adeyemi among those pushing for opportunities from the start, although all three may ultimately remain on the bench.

Eric Garcia’s absence should open the door for Jules Kounde to play at right-back, while Lamine Yamal, Anthony Gordon and Fermin Lopez could support Raphinha in the final third.

Feyenoord (4-3-3)

As for Feyenoord’s squad situation, Thomas Beelen (broken leg), Bart Nieuwkoop (unknown), Gjis Smal (ankle), Jakub Moder (knee) and Jordan Bos (knee) are confirmed to be absent for this match.

Gjivai Zechiel has been in excellent form at the start of the season, scoring four goals and registering three assists in five appearances, and he will feature in midfield once again.

Luciano Valente has scored three goals in five appearances this season and is also in contention to start, while there should be a place in midfield for Nacho Ferri, with Robin van Persie’s son, Shaqueel van Persie, expected to be among the substitutes from the start of the match.

Barcelona and Feyenoord both bring positive momentum ahead of their meeting in the 2026/2027 Champions League league phase.

With Barcelona enjoying a perfect start to the season and Feyenoord also remaining unbeaten, the clash at Camp Nou will be an important test for both teams in their European campaigns.
