Barça recorded their 15th La Liga win on the trot in Alicante on Saturday night to set a new Club record and equal the competition’s best ever run which has been in place for 50 years.
The 0-3 win over Hercules was the team’s 15th win on the run in the league and means that
they have beaten the previous Club record set by Frank Rijkaard’s team in the 2005/06 season.
That run went from week 8 to week 21 and included these wins:
The run equals that set in the 1960/61 season by Real Madrid – a record that
has stood for half a century and will come under threat next weekend!
