Barcelona take an immaculate league record into Saturday’s meeting with Getafe, with seven wins from seven placing them firmly at the summit after the opening weeks of the season.
Barcelona defend a perfect start
The Catalan side have collected 21 points from a possible 21 and begin the eighth LaLiga round five points clear of both Atlético de Madrid and Real Betis. Real Madrid are a further point back, six behind the leaders.
Getafe arrive in 11th place on eight points, part of a five-team cluster that also includes Villarreal, Athletic Club, Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna. Their task at the Nou Camp comes against opponents who have dominated the fixture historically: Barcelona have won 32 of the clubs’ 46 meetings, compared with four Getafe victories and 10 draws.
Match details and team news

For Barcelona, the contest is another test of the authority they have established through the first seven rounds: a chance to preserve a faultless domestic return while their closest challengers wait for any opening. Getafe, meanwhile, travel with the opportunity to break up a congested mid-table picture and secure a result rarely achieved in this fixture.
