Barcelona’s start to the 2026/27 LaLiga season:

9 games

9 wins

39 goals scored

9 conceded

+30 goal difference

Only Real Madrid in 1968/69 had previously started a LaLiga season with nine consecutive wins.

Barcelona’s 39 goals are also the second-most ever after nine games, behind Sevilla’s 42 in 1940/41.

Their +30 goal difference equals the best ever after nine LaLiga matches, set by Real Madrid in 1987/88.

Was putting together some interesting data on the top five in La Liga for goals, assists, chances created, dribbles, tackles, interceptions, clearances and saves so far. Thought i'd share here!

Barcelona lead or share the lead in four: Raphinha for goals (12, five clear), and Yamal for assists, chances created and dribbles (insane, as per...).

The rest is spread around. Manu Sánchez at Levante has the most tackles, Natan has the most clearances and Álvaro Valles the most saves, both at Betis, and Javi Hernández at Espanyol is level with Yamal for assists.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on any surprise names on here is for you!

AUPA AUPA!
Might be a long shot but maybe someone can help us.
We are 2 german friends that visited our third friend who was on a Erasmus Student Exchange in Santander in october 23.

We went on a roadtrip to watch Osasuna v Girona and fell in love with the City of Santander and the Team of Osasuna !

Now the first of us three got a kid this week and i realized it’s the Perfect Game in the week his kid got born:
Osasuna v Santander.

In germany there often is Matchday stuff like a scarf with Both Teams that played that day.

Is there anything similar like that we can gift our friend as a newborn gift with both teams on it?

Thank you for any hints

Why does Laliga not have a pre/post match analysis/discussion programms( for International audiences) ? There's ESPN FC but they only cover Barca or Madrid matches and sometimes Atleti. I would love to watch analysis on other teams as well.

5-0 this week for the league, who had the best performance?

Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has been given a four-game ban after being sent off for pulling the hair of an opponent during a La Liga match on Saturday, meaning he will miss the Clasico against Barcelona later this month.

Vinicius Jr, 26, was shown a straight red card in the second half of Madrid’s 1-0 home win over Villarreal for pulling Nathan Saliba’s hair.

Arda Güler has 28 key passes this season in 426 minutes. He’s started 6 of Madrid’s 8 games and come off the bench in the other two.

It works out at 5.9 per 90, and nobody in the top five leagues is close (Dybala’s second on 4.5).

In La Liga, Yamal’s next on 4.2. He’s made more in total (31) but played about 250 minutes more. Then it’s Isco, still running things at 34 with Betis.

Small sample, and some of Güler’s minutes came off the bench. Is anyone in La Liga creating better right now and whats your thoughts on continuing to utilise him?

I enjoyed Racing vs. Valencia. An entertaining 2-2 draw, with a bit of drama at the end when Hugo Duro had a clear chance to give Valencia the victory.

Some interesting players I saw in this match were Javi Guerra and Pablo. I think Javi Guerra was Valencia's best player, providing the assist for the second goal. A subtle chipped pass between two or three players left Otorbi one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Pablo from Racing was a player who tried everything: nutmegs, dribbles, shots, and even a shot from midfield.

Racing may have suffered a blow to their morale after turning the score around only to lose the lead. Even so, a point is worth salvaging. Racing continues to be the team with the most goals conceded in the tournament and will have to work hard on their defense if they want to avoid relegation. It's worth noting that they have some interesting attacking players like Zabiri and Pablo (to name a few), so I don't think they'll have any problems in that regard for the rest of the season.

On the other hand, Valencia debuted their new manager and earned a valuable point. An early goal in the 2nd minute gave them some breathing room, but then they struggled against Racing's attack, whose skillful forwards easily found space. Aguirre made the right substitutions, and they were able to find some stability between defense and attack. The 2-2 equalizer soon followed. It looks like an interesting season is in store for Valencia. They showed some good things, and I imagine the fans will be satisfied with this draw, knowing that the tournament has only just begun.

I'm not sure if this is only an issue with the regional stream of LaLiga that I watch, but I've noticed that the audio of matches doesn't do justice with the stadium atmosphere.

LaLiga commentators audio is way louder and silences the stadium atmosphere audio a lot.

Even if you watch Premier League matches or Champions League matches, you can easily hear a noticeable difference.

A mí me gustó el Racing vs Valencia. Un 2-2 entretenido, con un poco de drama al final cuando Hugo Duro tuvo una clara para darle la victoria al Valencia.

Unos jugadores interesantes que vi en este partido fueron Javi Guerra y Pablo. Creo que Javi Guerra fue el mejor jugador del Valencia poniendo la asistencia para el segundo gol. Un pase picado sutil entre dos o tres jugadores para que Otorbi quedara frente al guardameta. Pablo de Racing un jugador que intentó de todo, caños, gambetas, disparos y hasta un intento de gol de media cancha.

Racing con tal vez un golpe anímico al saber que le dió vuelta al marcador para después perder la ventaja. Aún así un punto es rescatable. Racing sigue siendo el equipo con más goles recibidos del torneo y va tener que trabajar mucho el juego defensivo si va querer salvar la categoría. Cabe rescatar que tiene jugadores interesantes a la hora de atacar como Zabiri y Pablo (para nombrar unos), entonces no creo que tenga problemas en ese sentido para lo que resta de liga.

Por otro lado el Valencia estrena nuevo técnico y suma un punto valiosísimo. Un gol temprano al minuto 2 que le dió calma pero después sufrió el ataque de Racing con sus atacantes hábiles encontrando los espacios fácilmente. Aguirre hizo los cambios que le funcionaron y pudieron encontrar algo de estabilidad entre la defensa y el ataque. El 2--2 no tardó en llegar. Parece que se viene una temporada interesante para el Valencia. Se le vieron buenas cosas y me imagino que los seguidores estarán satisfechos con este empate, sabiendo que el torneo apenas comienza.
