FC Barcelona’s 8-2 win over Huesca on Sunday at Camp Nou was no ordinary rout — it was the team’s 38th league triumph in a row, a run which dates back to just shy of two years ago, when Alavés pulled off a 2-1, upset victory on September 10, 2016.
Here are a few facts surrounding the streak, which includes an entire season’s worth of games:
- Barça’s home record over that span is 32 wins and 6 draws
- 14 wins and 3 draws under Luis Enrique
- 18 wins and 3 draws under Ernesto Valverde
- 121 goals scored
- 26 goals conceded
- Barça has found the net in 37 of the 38 games, the only exception being a scoreless draw with Málaga on November 19, 2016
