Barcelona have won their first seven competitive matches and scored 33 goals, producing a start of this kind for the first time since the 1915/16 season.
Barcelona Hit Stunning 111-Year Milestone After 7-2 Racing Victory
Barcelona have reached an extraordinary milestone after their 7-2 victory over Racing Santander continued a historic start to the 2026/27 season.
Hansi Flick’s side have now won their first seven competitive matches of the campaign.
They have also scored 33 goals during that run.
The last time Barcelona started a season with seven straight wins and at least 33 goals was 111 years ago, during the 1915/16 campaign.
Barcelona return to a level last seen in 1915
The numbers behind Barcelona’s start are remarkable.
They have played seven competitive matches.
They have won all seven.
And they have scored 33 goals.
According to historical statistics, Barcelona last produced a start of this kind in the 1915/16 season.
That team, coached by Jack Greenwell, also won its first seven matches and scored even more goals during the run.
More than a century later, the current Barcelona side have finally reached a similar level.
Seven wins from seven
Barcelona’s perfect start has included dominant victories in both La Liga and Europe.
Their opening seven competitive matches have produced:
7 matches
7 wins
33 goals scored
7 goals conceded
The latest victory was the biggest statement yet.
Barcelona scored seven times against Racing Santander in another huge attacking performance.
Raphinha and Yamal lead another goal show
Raphinha was one of the biggest stars of the Racing victory.
The Brazilian scored a hat-trick as Barcelona continued their incredible scoring form.
Lamine Yamal also found the net late in the match.
Together, Raphinha and Yamal scored four of Barcelona’s seven goals.
João Cancelo and Gabriel Jesus were also among the scorers as Barcelona once again showed how many different attacking options they have.
Barcelona also make La Liga history
The 111-year milestone is not the only remarkable statistic behind Barcelona’s start.
After six La Liga matches, Flick’s team have:
6 wins
28 goals
According to historical league statistics, no team had previously won all six of its opening La Liga matches while also scoring at least 28 goals.
That makes Barcelona the first team in La Liga history to achieve that combination.
More than four goals per league game
Barcelona’s attacking numbers in La Liga are especially impressive.
They have scored 28 goals in only six matches.
That works out at an average of more than four goals per game.
Very few teams in modern Spanish football have started a season with this level of attacking power.
The Racing match only made the numbers even more dramatic.
Flick’s team are rewriting club records
Barcelona have had many great teams throughout their history.
But even some of their most famous sides did not start a season with seven straight competitive victories.
The current team have now produced a better winning start than several previous Barcelona generations.
That is another reason why the opening weeks of the 2026/27 season are attracting so much attention.
A rare night from the penalty spot
The Racing match also produced another unusual statistic.
Barcelona were awarded three penalties during the game.
It was only the fourth time in the club’s La Liga history that they had received three penalties in one match.
The previous occasions came against Sabadell in 1944, Osasuna in 1994 and Sporting Gijón in 2016.
It added another strange historical detail to an already remarkable night.
Barcelona’s attack keeps getting stronger
The most worrying part for their rivals may be that Barcelona are not depending on only one player.
Raphinha is scoring regularly.
Yamal is enjoying the best scoring run of his career.
Other attackers are also contributing goals and assists.
That balance has helped Barcelona reach 33 goals in just seven competitive matches.
It is one of the strongest attacking starts the club has produced in more than a century.
Two historic milestones in one incredible start
Barcelona’s numbers can be viewed in two different ways.
At club level, this kind of seven-win and 33-goal start had not been seen for 111 years.
And in La Liga:
No team had ever won its first six matches while scoring at least 28 goals.
Both statistics show just how unusual Barcelona’s opening weeks have been.
A century-old benchmark has returned
The season is still in its early stages, and much can change over the coming months.
But Barcelona have already created a start that will be remembered.
Seven matches. Seven wins. Thirty-three goals.
It is a combination Barcelona had not produced since 1915/16.
More than a century later, Hansi Flick’s team have finally brought that kind of start back.
