Giovanni van Bronckhorst is preparing Feyenoord for a high-profile Champions League trip to face Barcelona at Camp Nou. Ahead of the encounter, Feyenoord legend and former Indonesia manager Wim Rijsbergen recalled his own 1974 trip to Camp Nou while urging Van Bronckhorst to adopt a compact gameplan.
Barcelona have seized sole control of the Liga summit after delivering a ruthless 5-0 victory over Valencia on Sunday. The dominant performance capitalised perfectly on Real Madrid's shock defeat against Real Betis, prompting manager Hansi Flick to praise his squad's flawless execution.
Valencia legend Santiago Canizares has urged supporters to completely empty Mestalla in an effort to humiliate majority owner Peter Lim into selling the struggling club. Following a crushing 5-0 home defeat against Barcelona, the former goalkeeper stressed that sustained social pressure is the only remaining option to rescue the Spanish giants.
