Barcelona face historic opportunity against Racing to continue perfect start

FC Barcelona host Racing Santander this evening at 10:30 PM at Spotify Camp Nou, in the 6th round of LaLiga, looking to continue their winning streak and achieve a historic feat.

FC Barcelona, under the guidance of Hans Flick, has achieved six consecutive victories since the start of the season, with five in LaLiga and one in the UEFA Champions League, matching its best starts in the 1929/1930, 1960/1961, and 2018/2019 seasons.

The victory over Racing gives the Catalan team the chance to achieve seven consecutive official wins for the first time in the club's history, after the previous three teams failed to reach this number.

FC Barcelona has made a strong attacking start, averaging 4.3 goals per match. They have kept clean sheets against Elche, Athletic Bilbao, and Valencia, while conceding goals against Rayo Vallecano and Levante.

Xavi relies on rotation among his players, with Frenkie de Jong and Roni Barjgi absent, while Juan Garcia, Koubarsi, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha remain key figures.

Racing returns to face FC Barcelona in LaLiga after a 14-season absence from the top flight, currently sitting in 10th place in the standings with 7 points, without any away victories.
