Barcelona hope to extend their perfect start to the season to an 11th game win a Real Betis this evening
Hansi Flick’s side have an unblemished record in the League – they are also two from two in the Champions League – and the domestic figures are staggering. Eight wins in eight, 34 goals scored and a comfortable lead over Atletico Madrid at the top. With PSG away on Tuesday and the Clásico on October 25, Flick has a huge week ahead of him.
Betis, however, could be just the team in form in Spain behind Barça. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have 19 points from eight games, beat Osasuna 5-2 last weekend and have already beaten Real Madrid this season. In Europe, they have won both Champions League games 3-2, away at Lille and then at home to Porto in midweek.
The Charterhouse has become a fortress. Betis have not lost a league game at their temporary home since December 6, 2025, and that defeat came against Barcelona. Antony gave Betis the lead on the night, but Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick and Roony Bardghji and Lamine Yamal also scored as Barca scored five in less than an hour en route to a 5-3 victory.
