History

Historical Context

In 1994 Johan Cruyff’s Dream Team clinched a fourth straight La Liga title, with Romário contributing 30 league goals that season. Barcelona later matched a 16-match winning run in the 2010-11 campaign, the joint La Liga record. The 2026 side is again targeting an extended home streak, hoping to break those historic benchmarks.
