FC Barcelona’s spectacular start to the season has continued after the three-week international break.

Their 3-0 victory over Getafe on Saturday confirmed their position at the top of La Liga with a perfect record of eight wins from eight matches, equalling the club’s best-ever start to a league campaign , previously achieved under Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino in 2013/14.

Those eight league victories, combined with their 5-1 win over Feyenoord in the opening round of the UEFA Champions League league phase, mean that Hansi Flick’s Barça are currently the only unbeaten team among Europe’s leading clubs.

The closest challengers are Manchester City. They have won all six of their Premier League matches, including Sunday’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Liverpool, as well as their Champions League opener against Porto.

However, the Cityzens, managed by Enzo Maresca, lost their first competitive match of the season in the Community Shield final, suffering a 3-0 defeat against Arsenal.

Other European heavyweights have also struggled to match the Blaugrana’s consistency in the first phase of the new season.
