Overview
- Barcelona have won their first seven LaLiga matches this season and sit six points ahead of Real Madrid.
- The side has scored 31 goals in seven games, the most the club has ever recorded at this stage of a season.
- A win over Getafe at Camp Nou would equal Gerardo Martino’s 2013-14 opening of eight straight league wins and add to the club’s momentum.
- Getafe have never beaten Barcelona at Camp Nou, giving Barcelona a clear opportunity to lengthen their home winning run.
- Historical context matters because Martino’s eight-win start in 2013-14 did not yield a title and Real Madrid’s nine-win start in 1968-69 remains the Spanish record, so early form is notable but not decisive.
