"Barcelona's win away against Racing Santander midweek marked a special landmark for the team in terms of the winning streak that they are on. The result in the Copa del Rey Round of 16 saw the team hit 11 successive games without dropping a point, reaching level terms with some of the finest runs of form in the team's history."
"The feat was repeated in 2015 by Luis Enrique as his team hit 11 straight wins that campaign. Surprisingly, the Catalans went on to win the UEFA Champions League on that occasion too. Flick reaching that special figure in the previous fixture shows that the team are destined for something special this season - but tonight he has the chance to do something special and even cross the records held by Guardiola and Enrique."
Barcelona returned from Saudi Arabia after the Spanish Super Cup to play Racing Santander in the Copa del Rey Round of 16, then travelled to face Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena. Pellegrino Matarazzo's Real Sociedad have won two and drawn one of their first three matches under the new coach. Barcelona's Copa victory extended their winning run to 11 successive matches without dropping a point. The streak equals runs achieved under Pep Guardiola (2009) and Luis Enrique (2015), with Enrique's side also winning the Champions League that season. Frank Rijkaard's 18-match winning run remains the club record. Hansi Flick's side aim to surpass those milestones.
