Hansi Flick Leads Barcelona to Record Seven Straight Wins with 7-2 Victory over Racing Santander
Hansi Flick has steered Barcelona to an unprecedented start this season, achieving seven straight victories across all competitions. Their latest triumph was a commanding 7-2 win against Racing Santander at home, marking a fresh club record for the best opening run.
A Historic Milestone for the Catalan Giants
Previously, Barcelona's top start featured six consecutive wins in the 1929/30, 1960/61, and 2018/19 seasons. None reached a seventh victory until now. Flick expressed satisfaction after the match:
"I liked the way we played and the three points. I’m happy, we’re happy. It’s not easy to play against Racing," Flick said.
Combining Firepower with Solid Defense
The team has scored 33 goals while conceding only seven during their first seven matches. Key wins include games against Elche, Athletic Club, Rayo Vallecano, Valencia, Feyenoord, Levante, and Racing Santander. Flick underlined the importance of maintaining intensity and teamwork:
"It’s always good to start well, but what matters is how you finish. It gives us confidence, and I like the momentum and the intensity. Everyone presses, everyone is involved. How we work as a team is crucial," he explained.
Karim Adeyemi Making His Mark
New signing Karim Adeyemi is adjusting well and contributing significantly. Flick praised the forward’s speed and effort on the pitch:
"He can improve and still needs to fully adapt to our way of playing, but he gives us a lot, as we saw today. I’m happy for him and I like what I see. He’s a fun player and a good guy who gives everything on the pitch. His pace is incredible," Flick commented.
Next Challenge Awaits in LaLiga
Despite the celebrations, Flick is already focused on upcoming matches. The squad faces a tough test away at Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium on Saturday. The team aims to keep their winning streak alive in what promises to be another demanding game.
