Barcelona will hope to extend their perfect start to the season to an 11th game with victory at Real Betis this evening.

Hansi Flick’s side have an unblemished record in La Liga – they are also two from two in the Champions League – and the numbers domestically are staggering. Eight wins from eight, 34 goals scored, and a comfortable lead over Atlético Madrid at the top. With PSG away on Tuesday and the Clásico on October 25, it’s a huge week ahead for Flick.

Betis, though, might just be the form side in Spain behind Barca. Manuel Pellegrini’s team have taken 19 points from eight games, they hammered Osasuna 5-2 last weekend, and they’ve already beaten Real Madrid this season. In Europe, they’ve won both of their Champions League games 3-2, away at Lille and then at home to Porto in midweek.

La Cartuja has become a fortress. Betis haven’t lost a league game at their temporary home since December 6 2025, and that defeat came against Barcelona. Antony gave Betis an early lead that night, but Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick and Roony Bardghji and Lamine Yamal also scored as Barca netted five in less than an hour on their way to a 5-3 win.
