Barcelona are going through one of the sweetest moments of the season: they have just secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey with a 2-0 win over Racing; in LaLiga they are leaders with a four-point advantage over Real Madrid; they have managed to become Supercopa champions against their hated rivals, and in the Champions League they continue to be in the qualifying zone. It seems that everything is going well for them, while Los Blancos are suffering, which adds more joy to the Cules fans.
Barcelona is living a historic moment
After reaching 11 consecutive victories, the Blaugrana club stressed that this is the second best run in its history and recalled a fact that excites its fans: on previous occasions when it achieved something similar, it ended up lifting the Champions League.
The club itself was responsible for spreading the statistic that has ignited optimism among its fans. With 11 wins in a row, Barcelona recorded the second-best winning streak in its history, a record that reflects the solidity of the team in both domestic and international competitions.
Beyond the numbers, the collective performance has been key. Barça have shown a marked improvement in defence, while continuing to shine in attack with Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Ferran Torres, Raphinha, Lewandowski and company.
Under the management of Hansi Flick, Barcelona has rediscovered its identity, regained confidence and this is reflected match after match.
Which team is favorite to win the 2026 Champions League?
The message that has attracted the most attention is the historical background that accompanies this streak. In the three previous seasons in which Barcelona achieved a streak of 11 victories, the outcome was the same: the club ended up winning the UEFA Champions League.
Statistics do not mark destiny, but they do inspire. At the moment, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are the leaders and unbeaten, and are one of the clear favorites. They are followed by Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City, clubs accustomed to prominence in the Champions League. Barcelona is in 15th place, far from the top positions and therefore not among the favorites. However, with the backing of the past, the Spanish team is allowed to dream big.
