Wolves loanee Hugo Bueno gained another Champions League experience with Feyenoord.
The Spaniard is building momentum away from Molineux, thriving in the Netherlands under the guidance of Brian Priske.
Gary O’Neil and Matt Hobbs sanctioned a move for the left-back in the summer with the understanding that his game time would be limited if he remained in the West Midlands.
Bueno joined Feyenoord for the season and has since embarked on a Champions League adventure however, his side took the wrong path on match day four.

Wolves loanee Hugo Bueno sufferers Champions League defeat with Feyenoord
After recording back-to-back Champions League victories, Bueno’s side suffered a dreary 3-1 defeat at home to RB Salzburg.
The Wolves loanee played 90 minutes in the loss and was one of the better players on the pitch, as Dutch media echoed.
On a night where some of Priske’s players earned lows of 4/10 ratings, Voetbal Zone awarded Bueno a 6/10, their second-highest rating.

Dutch outlet VI made a similar assessment of the Spaniard’s night, also rewarding him a six, which was their second-highest rating too.
Voetbal Primeur offered further insight into how the 22-year-old performed, praising the defender for being Feyenoord’s shining light.
“Hugo Bueno – 6: When things don’t go well, Bueno knows how to make the best of it through sheer willpower. It wasn’t the Spaniard’s fault.”
Bueno’s performance sent Wolves a message
On a night that was far from Feyenoord’s best, Bueno remained composed, with his impactful display reinforcing that.
Back at home, O’Neil should be alerted to what is unfolding for the Spaniard in the Netherlands, particularly when revising the performance the left-back produced on the European stage.
Wolves are at risk of losing Rayan Ait-Nouri in the near future, with sources informing us that this is the Algerian’s final season at Molineux.
Ait-Nouri’s resurgence paved the way for Bueno’s loan and now, the Feyenoord ace could be in with a real chance of paving the way for his Wolves teammate’s exit.
Since joining Feyenoord, the 22-year-old has showcased an edge to his game with traits identifiable in Ait-Nouri’s approach. The loanee’s building confidence continues to display an encouraging sign for the Old Gold.
Bueno is showing that he is capable of returning to the West Midlands to fill the possible void the Algeria international will leave, which could be decisive to Wolves’ future success.
