Barcelona’s early-season journey now points south, from a seven-goal evening against Racing de Santander to a testing visit to Seville, with Hansi Flick’s side carrying a perfect six wins from six into the next stage of the Spanish campaign.
Barcelona take a six-point rhythm to Seville
The 7-2 victory over Racing kept Barcelona at the summit, three points ahead of Real Madrid after Madrid had escaped Elche with a 3-2 win the previous day. The Catalan side have scored 28 times and conceded only six, giving them a goal difference of +22, compared with Madrid’s +11.
Atlético Madrid sit five points behind Barcelona in third after beating Osasuna 4-0 without Julián Álvarez. Betis, who have taken 12 points from their opening five matches, can alter the shape of the upper table when Getafe visit on Thursday at 19:00.
Barcelona’s next assignment comes on Saturday at 21:00, when they meet Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. A seventh successive league win would match the finest start in Barcelona’s history, reached previously under Gerardo Martino in 2013-14 and again with Flick in charge in 2024-25.
Sevilla have also begun with purpose. Their 1-0 success at Deportivo in Riazor left them provisionally fourth, with 13 points from six outings, giving the Andalusian fixture rather more weight than a routine early-autumn visit.
Madrid derby before the international pause
The weekend closes on Sunday at 16:15 with Atlético hosting Real Madrid at the Metropolitano. It is the final major domestic stop before LaLiga pauses for three weeks, with four international fixtures on the calendar.
When the league resumes on Saturday 10 October, Barcelona will welcome Getafe at 18:30. Real Madrid are at home later that evening, facing Villarreal at 21:00.
