A victory in their first game back would allow Barcelona to equal the club record of eight consecutive wins at the start of a LaLiga season, first set by Tata Martino's team in the 2013/14 season. That season, Martino's squad secured eight straight wins, featuring a notable 7-0 victory against Levante and subsequent close matches, including three 1-0 or 3-2 outcomes before dominating teams like Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad.
More than ten years later, Barcelona, under the management of Hansi Flick, looks to replicate this achievement. However, facing Getafe will not be easy. After three weeks without club matches and several players engaged in international duty, the team must find their rhythm again.
Getafe has historically proven to be a challenging opponent, and manager José Bordalás' teams usually present tough tests. Nonetheless, Barcelona returns in strong form, boasting a streak of 22 consecutive home wins in LaLiga, positioning them to extend that record to 23.
