The Rotterdam club climbed to second place in the Eredivisie in the spring. Now, with van Bronckhorst already at the helm, they have made a decent start, although a few draws could not be avoided. In their latest match, however, they defeated strong AZ Alkmaar 2-0.
The team playing at the “Giuseppe Sinigaglia” won the battle for fourth place in Serie A against far more experienced opponents, Milan and Juventus. They also made a solid start after the summer break, drawing away to Udinese and earning three wins, but then unexpectedly lost 0-2 to modest Frosinone. After the break, they failed to score against Roma despite having a numerical advantage, settling for a goalless draw.
The Dutch side came up short in the Champions League. That said, their opponent was Barcelona. Feyenoord could manage only a consolation goal, losing 5-1. The debutants, by contrast, delivered a pleasant surprise. The Italians defeated far more experienced RB Leipzig by a convincing 4-1 scoreline.
