Feyenoord Overcome Coaching Change to Edge AC Milan 1-0 in Champions League Playoff

Posted : 13 February 2025

Feyenoord secured a 1-0 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday, overcoming the sudden coaching change that saw Pascal Bosschaart step in just 48 hours before the knockout phase playoff. The match at a lively De Kuip stadium saw Igor Paixao score a third-minute goal, and despite the unexpected coaching transition, Feyenoord delivered a solid performance under Bosschaart’s leadership.

 

The new interim coach, who had been overseeing Feyenoord’s under-21 team, expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, noting that the staff’s plans worked well, and his own contributions felt fulfilling.

 

Feyenoord’s victory was aided by a significant error from Milan’s goalkeeper Mike Maignan, as Paixao’s speculative shot unexpectedly sailed over him into the net. Despite the stroke of luck, Feyenoord had more chances, playing with energy and determination in front of their passionate supporters, who braved the rain to cheer the team on.

 

Bosschaart emphasized that the win was a collective effort, highlighting the team’s solid defense and well-executed attacking plans, particularly from the wingers.

 

Looking ahead to the return leg in Milan, Bosschaart remained cautious, stating that while the 1-0 result  was promising, it was only a first step and they were not yet safe. Captain Quinten Timber, who had to leave the match early due to a knee injury from a fall, is hopeful of recovering in time for the second leg.

 

Although his injury initially seemed minor, Timber admitted that his knee became stiff afterward, but he remains optimistic about being fit for the crucial away match.
