Barca register 7th straight win

With Robert Lewandowski on target again, Barcelona extended their perfect start to the Spanish league season.

Lewandowski scored his seventh goal in as many matches and Barcelona won their seventh in a row in the league by defeating Getafe 1-0 at home. The triumph gives Barcelona their second-best league start ever, equalling the seven victories they also earned at the start of the 2017-18 season. The Catalan club won eight straight to start the 2013-14 season.

“I’m really proud about my team,” Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said. “But also I’m very proud because the fans they realised that we needed them and they give everything. It’s a good connection at the moment and I’m really happy about that.”
