Football dynasty. Robin van Persie's son makes debut under his father’s management

Feyenoord suffered a 0-2 defeat to Scottish side Celtic in the fifth round of the Europa League. Despite the loss, this match will be unforgettable for the Van Persie family.

Details: In the 82nd minute, 19-year-old Shaqueel van Persie—son of Robin van Persie, Feyenoord’s current manager—stepped onto the pitch for his senior debut.

However, this milestone came against the backdrop of a worrying trend: Feyenoord have now lost four consecutive matches for the first time since December 2015 to January 2016, when they endured a five-game losing streak. Furthermore, the team has conceded three or more goals for the second match in a row—a feat not seen since September 2022.

Reminder: Napoli are looking to sign Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber as a replacement for De Bruyne
