Dutch legend and former Real Madrid player Rafael van der Vaart stated directly on a TV show that Feyenoord has only a 1% chance of winning their away match against Barcelona.

At 00:45 CEST on Thursday, Feyenoord will visit Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League group stage.

The outspoken Van der Vaart said he believes Feyenoord's chances of winning are only 1%: "If you have the chance to play at Camp Nou, you want to show your strength. You're going to lose anyway, so at least prove that you can compete at this level."

Van der Vaart believes that Feyenoord coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst should make full use of the team's most individually talented players, citing Anass Salah-Eddine as an example. "You have to let players like him play to their true strengths."
