Barcelona is preparing to write a new chapter in its history in La Liga as it hosts Rayo Vallecano today, Sunday, at the Spotify Camp Nou. This match could grant them a remarkable home record for the current season.

The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that the Catalan team is close to achieving its fifteenth consecutive victory in La Liga at home, an unprecedented achievement with a perfect winning percentage in front of its fans, reflecting the great strength the team is showing under the leadership of coach Hans Flick.

According to the report, Barcelona achieved 14 victories out of 14 home matches in the league this season, with these wins spread across three stadiums. It started at Johan Cruyff Stadium with a 6-0 win over Valencia and a 3-0 win over Getafe. Then at Luis Companys Stadium, they secured victories against Real Sociedad 2-1, Girona 2-1, and Elche 3-1. Finally, at Spotify Camp Nou, they achieved nine consecutive wins against Athletic Bilbao 4-0, Alaves 3-1, Atletico Madrid 3-1, Osasuna 2-0, Oviedo 3-0, Mallorca 3-0, Levante 3-0, Villarreal 4-1, and Sevilla 5-2.

The Spanish newspaper added that Barcelona is close to matching a historic record achieved in the 1952/1953, 1958/1959, and 1959/1960 seasons, when the team won 15 consecutive home games in the league. It is noted that the number of teams during those periods was only 16, which means 15 home matches in the season.

The same source indicated that if they win against Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona will match their eighth-best consecutive home winning streak across seasons, noting that their last home loss was last season against Villarreal with a score of 3-2.

He holds the record for the longest unbeaten home streak in the club's history with 39 matches, a record achieved between the 1957/1958 and 1960/1961 seasons. To break this record, the team would need to maintain a perfect record until the end of the current season and the next season, and then win the first two home matches in the 2027/2028 season.

In a related context, the report clarified that Barcelona relies on its offensive and defensive strength at home, having scored 46 goals and conceded only 8 goals in the first 14 home league matches. They also scored 46 goals at Spotify Camp Nou across various competitions, conceding 9 goals.

The newspaper also pointed out that Barcelona is not the only team that has remained unbeaten at home this season in the five major European leagues, as Napoli shares this achievement in the Italian league, with the difference being that the Italian team has drawn in four matches, while Barcelona maintains a perfect record in La Liga and has only suffered one home defeat in all competitions, which was against Paris Saint-Germain with a score of 2-1.

This strong record confirms that Barcelona is steadily moving towards enhancing its chances in the title race, benefiting from the home advantage and fan support to achieve the best possible results.
