Barcelona hosts Getafe with a perfect record and no plans to slow down in LaLiga

Seven for seven. That's how Barcelona arrives at this latest league date, with a start to the season that leaves no room for doubt: a perfect record in LaLiga 2026/2027 and a firm grip on first place. Next up is none other than Getafe, this Saturday, October 10, at the Spotify Camp Nou, in matchday 8 of the competition.

For those following from South America, kickoff is set for 1:30 PM (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay) and 11:30 AM (Colombia, Peru, Ecuador), with coverage available through the Disney Plus Premium Plan in that region.

A run that puts Getafe to the test

What Barcelona has done is no small feat: seven straight wins to open the campaign under Hansi Flick, who has his side sitting atop the table with a perfect record. The goal now is simple, at least on paper: extend the streak against a Getafe side currently in the middle of the standings that arrives hungry to pull off an upset and climb toward the top.

Because that's exactly what the Madrid club needs: a result that changes the tone of its season. It won't be easy to do that in the home of a Barcelona team that hasn't put a foot wrong, but soccer always leaves a crack open for a team that shows up determined to spring a surprise.

Key names on each side

At Barcelona, individual quality matches the strength of the collective. Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Rodri, Anthony Gordon and Raphinha are all in excellent form and are the pieces holding together this perfect start. On the other side, Getafe also has players capable of causing trouble: Martín Satriano, Enes Ünal, Iván Azón and Joahn Mojica are the names to watch.

The stat that best sums up Barcelona's current form comes from its last match: Barcelona traveled to face Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán and came away with a 3-1 win, featuring a genuine hat trick from Raphinha that confirms the Brazilian is in top shape. Getafe, meanwhile, arrives off a 1-0 win over Málaga, with the goal scored by Iván Azón, the forward who appears to have established himself as the team's main offensive reference.

Recent history also favors the Catalan side. The last time these two teams met, on April 25, 2026, at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, Barcelona won 2-0 with goals from Marcus Rashford and Fermín López. Now it remains to be seen whether that recent history repeats itself or whether Getafe can put a stop to the momentum that has Flick's side steamrolling everything in its path.
