Barcelona Targets Historic Start Against Getafe at Camp Nou

Barcelona will pursue a place in LaLiga history when they host Getafe at Camp Nou on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Hansi Flick's team has won all seven opening league matches and can equal the club's best-ever start with another victory, while extending its lead in the title race and strengthening its remarkable home record.

According to Sports Yahoo, Barcelona have collected 21 points and opened a six-point gap over Real Madrid. Their 31 goals in seven matches have accompanied a perfect record, putting Flick's squad within reach of several historical milestones against a Getafe side that has struggled on the road.

Barcelona's current scoring total has already surpassed the 29 goals recorded during the club's first seven league matches of the 1950-51 season. According to Sports Yahoo, the team has overwhelmed several opponents, including Racing Santander with a 7-0 victory and Elche, Rayo Vallecano and Valencia with identical 5-0 defeats.

The Catalan club's next victory would also match a record achieved by Gerardo Martino's Barcelona team in 2013-14, when the side won its first eight league fixtures. According to Sports Yahoo, that run ended with a goalless draw against Osasuna in the ninth round, while Athletic Bilbao inflicted the team's first defeat in matchday 15. Barcelona finished that campaign with 87 points, as Atletico Madrid secured the title on the final day at Camp Nou.

Across Spanish football, Miguel Munoz's Real Madrid holds the record for the strongest start to a league season, having won its first nine matches in 1968-69. Real Madrid also opened the 1961-62 and 1987-88 campaigns with eight consecutive victories, according to Sports Yahoo.

Barcelona have another home milestone within reach. A win against Getafe would extend their home winning streak to 23 matches, placing the club among the five longest home-winning runs in Spanish football history. The next benchmark is Real Madrid's 24 consecutive home victories across the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons, Sports Yahoo reported.

Getafe's historical record at Barcelona presents another obstacle. According to Opta statistics cited by Goal.com, Barcelona have gone unbeaten in all 21 of their home league meetings with Getafe, winning 17 and drawing four. Only Elche have faced Barcelona more often at home without suffering defeat, with 25 matches producing 18 Barcelona wins and seven draws.

Getafe have lost their last eight away league matches against Barcelona and failed to score in their last four visits. Goal.com reported that this is the Madrid club's longest consecutive losing run at Barcelona in the Spanish top flight. Getafe have also lost all three away league matches in the 2026-27 season without scoring, a first in their competition history.

The visitors nevertheless have an individual milestone within reach. According to Opta, Djené Dakonam, who has made 311 first-division appearances for Getafe, could become the first player in the club's history to reach 100 league victories in its shirt. He currently has 99 wins.

Flick also maintains a favorable record against Getafe manager José Bordalás. Goal.com reported that Barcelona's coach has won three and drawn one of their four LaLiga meetings, remaining unbeaten against Bordalás in the competition. Bordalás, meanwhile, has never won an away league match at Barcelona, recording one draw and seven defeats across eight visits.
