Hansi Flick’s Barcelona secured ownership of a five-year La Liga benchmark en route to victory over Getafe on Saturday evening. This came courtesy of the Blaugrana’s efforts whilst in possession.

Barca marked their post-international break return to action a short time ago, in a league meeting with José Bordalás’ Getafe.

When all was said and done, the reigning Spanish champions waltzed to a 3-0 triumph, to make it a perfect nine victories from nine to open the campaign.

And as alluded to above, in the process, Barcelona wrestled away ownership of a La Liga passing benchmark from arch rivals Real Madrid.

As revealed by statisticians SofaScore, the Blaugrana’s 787 accurate passes against Getafe this evening were the most by any team in a single Spanish top-flight fixture over the last five seasons.

Flick’s men overtook the previous benchmark of 768, set by Real Madrid, also against Getafe, back in May of 2023.
