Barcelona beat Feyenoord 5-1 in their Champions League opener as LaLiga raised the club's squad spending limit to €582m, still below Real Madrid's €832m.
- Barcelona defeated Feyenoord 5-1 at Camp Nou on Wednesday, with Raphinha scoring twice and Lamine Yamal, Karim Adeyemi and Gabriel Jesus adding goals.
- LaLiga announced Thursday that Barcelona's squad spending limit rose by almost €150m to €582m, €250m below Real Madrid's €832m cap.
- Sporting director Deco said the club signed Anthony Gordon over Marcus Rashford because Gordon fits coach Hansi Flick's style of play.
- Deco called Raphinha's and Pedri's exclusion from the 30-man Ballon d'Or list "a huge scandal."
