Funny how things work out...
Against Real Betis on Saturday night, FC Barcelona claimed their eleventh win (5-2)... in eleven matches across all competitions this season.
In La Liga, that makes nine wins from nine games. No team had made such a start in the Spanish league since the 1968/1969 season.
Barcelona have now equalled the best start to a season in La Liga history, a record previously held by... Real Madrid.
With a win next week, Barça would make it ten wins from ten games and claim outright the record for the best start to a season in La Liga history. And who do Barça play next week? Real Madrid. Fancy that!
This Clásico is going to be hot, hot, hot!
