Overview
- Barcelona have won their first seven LaLiga matches and scored 31 goals, and a win at Camp Nou on Saturday would equal the club record of eight straight league wins.
- The run has put Barça six points clear of Real Madrid and could extend their consecutive home league wins to 23, a mark that ranks among the longest home runs in Spanish football.
- Raphinha is ruled out after a thigh injury sustained on international duty and will miss this weekend’s match and the next European fixture, forcing Hansi Flick to adjust his attack.
- Getafe arrive with just four league goals from seven matches and have never won a league game at Barcelona’s stadium, a record of 17 wins and 4 draws for Barça in 21 home meetings according to Opta.
- The only Barcelona side to start with eight straight wins was Gerardo Martino’s 2013‑14 team, a reminder that fast opening runs do not guarantee a title and that the coming congested schedule will test squad depth.
