"It's absolutely possible. We are the best team on the planet."
That was Lamine Yamal's confident reply when CBS Sports pundit Thierry Henry asked whether a treble is on the agenda this season. Judging by the evidence from the opening two months of 2026–27, it appears to be far more than just wishful thinking.
Barcelona have hit the ground running this season, with Tuesday's commanding 4–1 triumph over Turkish giants Galatasaray extending their perfect record to 10 wins from 10.
Yamal contributed two assists in Istanbul—one of which came via a viral rabona flick—as Barça kept the goals flowing despite the absence of their injured leading scorer Raphinha.
Across all fixtures in La Liga and the Champions League, Barcelona—driven by a relentless attacking unit—have plundered 43 goals (averaging 4.3 per match) while conceding a mere nine.
Consequently, Hansi Flick's men sit at the summit of both La Liga and the Champions League's League Phase, firmly establishing themselves as the team to beat across Europe this campaign.
Record-Setting Start
10 games, 10 wins.
The summer arrivals of Rodri and Anthony Gordon have strengthened an already formidable squad, while repositioning Raphinha as a centre forward has proven to be an inspired decision—even if it was born out of necessity.
Meanwhile, Yamal continues his rise toward footballing immortality as the figurehead of an exceptionally gifted generation of academy products who form the core of this side.
Barcelona's blistering start to the campaign has gone unmatched by any other club in 2026–27, with no other side across Europe's top five divisions boasting a perfect record in all competitions.
Barça also equalled their own finest-ever La Liga opening by securing eight wins from eight in Saturday's 3–0 demolition of Getafe—a match in which they commanded a staggering 82.7% of possession.
Should Barcelona claim victory at Real Betis in their next league fixture on Saturday, they will become only the second club in history to win their opening nine La Liga matches of a season. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Real Madrid are the sole side to have previously accomplished this, achieving it back in the 1968–69 campaign. No team has ever gone on to win 10 in a row.
While there remains a considerable distance to travel this season, Flick's squad will also be quietly monitoring a range of La Liga records. They could even become the first club to complete an 'invincible' season since Athletic Club's remarkable campaign in 1929–30.
Crunch Period Coming Up
Barcelona have been a force of nature so far this term, but a hectic stretch of fixtures may reveal whether they are merely a side riding a hot streak or a genuinely elite outfit.
To date, Barça have yet to face any of last season's top six in La Liga—a situation that changes this Saturday with the away trip to La Cartuja.
Betis represent a stern examination for any visiting side, with José Mourinho's Real Madrid having already tasted defeat against Manuel Pellegrini's team this season.
That encounter arrives just three days before the Champions League away clash against holders Paris Saint-Germain on Oct. 20.
The high-stakes fixtures keep on coming, with the first Clásico of the season arriving the following weekend, and a trip to Atlético Madrid's Metropolitano also looming on the schedule.
Over the next six matches, Barcelona will undoubtedly face opposition of a calibre—and at a frequency—they have not yet encountered this season. If they remain unbeaten a month from now on Nov. 14, there will likely be far fewer skeptics willing to dismiss Yamal's claim that a treble is within reach.
