Barça 3-1 Deportivo Liceo: Historic win

Barça secured their 17th win in 17 matches, equalling the best start in OK Liga history with a 3-1 victory over Liceo at the Palau Blaugrana. This milestone, first achieved in 2004/05 under Carlos Figueroa and repeated in 2021/22, marks another historic achievement for the team under David Caceres.

Barça dominated possession in the first half but struggled to break through Liceo’s solid defence. Ferran Font came closest, missing a direct free hit and later striking the crossbar, while Marc Grau also hit the post before halftime came with neither side having opened their account.

Second-Half Drama

The match opened up after the break, with both teams chasing goals. After relentless pressure, Pablo Álvarez finally broke the deadlock in the 38th minute with an unstoppable shot (1-0), but Liceo quickly responded as Ciocale equalised just two minutes later (1-1).

The final minutes were intense, with Liceo missing two crucial set-piece chances. Barça capitalised—Álvarez converted a penalty (2-1) to double up his tally for the day, and Ferran Font secured the victory after multiple close calls, making sure of Barça’s historic winning streak.
