Hansi Flick\u2019s Barcelona<\/a> already has a place in the club\u2019s history.<\/strong> The Blaugrana side beat Racing de Santander 7-2 and achieved something no Bar\u00e7a team had managed since the club began playing official competitions: winning its first seven matches of the season across LaLiga<\/a> and the Champions League<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Seven consecutive victories make the start of Flick\u2019s project the best in Barcelona\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Racing arrived at Spotify Camp Nou with a rotated lineup, aware that it needed to save energy for its next league match against Celta. The visitors\u2019 plan could do little against a Barcelona side that once again showed a clear edge in rhythm, intensity, and attacking power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Cancelo responds to the competition<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The scoring was opened before the eighth minute thanks to Jo\u00e3o Cancelo<\/strong>, who took his chance after losing prominence in LaLiga to Xavi Espart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Portuguese defender responded with personality and came close to getting a brace. His second shot took a deflection off Villalibre, so LaLiga recorded the goal as an own goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Internal competition is once again one of the main driving forces behind Flick\u2019s team: whoever gets an opportunity has to make the most of it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Raphinha<\/a> keeps up his scoring pace<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n If there is one player who does not seem willing to slow down, it is Raphinha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Brazilian scored another hat-trick, including two goals from the penalty spot, to take his numbers to 11 goals and three assists<\/strong> in this spectacular start to the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n His transformation into one of the team\u2019s main attacking references continues to pay off and keeps Barcelona as a genuine threat to any opponent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lamine Yamal keeps pushing until he finds his goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The night also featured Lamine Yamal<\/strong> as one of its main protagonists, although the young forward had to wait for his reward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He first missed a penalty, then hit the post, and later saw a goal ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But his persistence was eventually rewarded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After a run from Karim Adeyemi, Lamine appeared to complete the rout and put the finishing touch on another attacking display from a Barcelona side that seems to find solutions from virtually every area of the pitch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Earlier, Gabriel Jesus<\/strong> had also shown his quality with a finish that once again highlighted the attacking arsenal Flick has at his disposal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The only concern: goals conceded<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Not everything was perfect for Barcelona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The team conceded two goals and has now let in seven this season<\/strong>. Joan Garc\u00eda allowed one of them and was substituted at halftime as a precaution, while Wojciech Szczesny made an error with the ball at his feet that led to Racing\u2019s second goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, those mistakes were overshadowed by an attacking output that continues to be extraordinary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Barcelona now has 33 goals in seven matches<\/strong>, an average of 4.7 per game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Flick surpasses three historic teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Barcelona\u2019s start takes on even greater significance when compared with other great openings in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n James Bellamy in the 1929-30 season, Ljubisa Brocic in 1960-61, and Ernesto Valverde in 2018-19 had come close to this mark, but none managed to begin with seven straight wins across LaLiga and the Champions League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Hansi Flick is the first to do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now Barcelona will look to extend its streak next Saturday at the S\u00e1nchez-Pizju\u00e1n against Sevilla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The team has already made history, but the goal for Flick and his players is to keep extending a run that is only just beginning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
