Barcelona Shatters Stunning 81-Year Goalscoring Record in Historic Achievement

By this point, it's common knowledge that Hansi Flick's Barcelona squad operates as an offensive juggernaut, but they've now reached a level where they're shattering records that have stood for nearly a century.

The 2–1 triumph over Real Sociedad this past weekend didn't just propel Barcelona past Real Madrid to claim the La Liga summit. This victory also represented the 44th consecutive match where Barcelona found the net at least once, matching the longest such run in the club's history.

One must look back 81 years to locate the Barcelona side that established this record. Between 1942–1944, Juan José Nogués's Barcelona scored in 44 straight matches, though they were unable to capture La Liga during that span.

Barcelona's present run helped propel them to secure the club's inaugural domestic treble last season, controlling Spanish football after enduring a trophy-free 2023–24 campaign.

On Dec. 15, 2024, Leganés stunned Barcelona with a 1–0 La Liga victory, marking the most recent occasion Barcelona was held scoreless across all competitions. Seven days later, on Dec. 21, Atlético Madrid also bested Barcelona 2–1.

Despite that setback, the 44-match scoring sequence commenced with the loss to Atlético, and Barcelona wouldn't suffer another La Liga defeat until well after they had already secured the 2024–25 title.

More than nine months have passed since Barcelona last failed to register a goal in any fixture, a remarkable feat that underscores the offensive prowess the squad has cultivated under Flick's guidance.

Should Flick's Barcelona wish to extend their streak to 45 matches and establish a new all-time benchmark, they must accomplish this when they welcome defending Champions League titleholders Paris Saint-Germain on Oct. 1.
