Feyenoord crashed out of the UEFA Champions League last night, after a damning 5-2 second-leg defeat to Fenerbahçe countered a previous 2-1 win at De Kuip.The Turkish media saw the Rotterdam side

Feyenoord were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. The Rotterdammers lost 5-2 against Fenerbahce in Istanbul after having won the first game 2-1. Robin Van Persie’s side will now play in the UEFA Europa League this season.
