FC Barcelona kicked off the 2026-2027 season in spectacular fashion. Undefeated after four league matches and currently alone atop of the league standings. They also ended the transfer window with more new signings and haven’t suffered any injuries as they prepare for the Champions League.
FC Barcelona are enjoying a perfect start to the season. They have been great up front and have cut down on conceding goals. After four league matches, the Blaugrana have scored 17 goals and conceded only twice. They are averaging just over four goals a match and have scored five in three of their first four matches. Fans have to be pleased with those types of performances.
Furthermore, there seems to be no World Cup hangover for the players. Newly appointed captain, Raphinha, looks superb after having his World Cup cut short due to injury. Raphinha is the top goal scorer with six goals while Lamine Yamal and Fermín Lopez both have scored four. Cubarsi is continuing his fine World Cup form and Joan Garcia leads the race for the Zamora trophy. New signings Anthony Gordon and Rodri seem to be settling in quite well with this team. It’s refreshing to finally see such good depth on this team.
Speaking of new signings, the Blaugrana managed to sign Gabriel Jesus and Dominik Livaković to complete their busy summer of signings. Sure, Julian Alvarez not joining this team is a bit disappointing but there is enough fire power at the moment. The most important thing is that the club was able to register all these players comfortably, unlike prior seasons.
Barça also discovered their Champions League opponents for the league phase. The Champions League quest kicks off this Wednesday and the Blaugrana will be facing Feyenoord Rotterdam, Galatasaray, Paris Saint-Germain, Aston Villa, Sabah FK, Manchester City, Sporting and Como. Facing the defending champions Paris Saint-Germain will be a good litmus test of how good this Barça team truly is. There will be homecoming for former Barça players who are now club managers with Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Feyenoord) and Cesc (Como).
Here’s hoping the team continues to play great and everyone stays fit. It will be a long season and hopefully Hansi Flick will rotate his players to keep them all healthy and happy with their minutes. The quest for the 30th league title and 6th Champions League title should be an interesting one.
