Over this impressive stretch, the team has maintained an average of four goals per game.
Star striker Robert Lewandowski contributed two goals to the tally, pushing his remarkable streak to 15 goals in his last ten games with the club.

With this victory, Barcelona stands out as the leading team in the Champions League, having scored a total of 15 goals in just four matches. Red Star midfielder Timi Elsnik acknowledged the challenge posed by the form of Barcelona. “We knew that Barcelona were in good form before the match, winning the ‘clasico’ and scoring a lot of goals. It was quite a challenge but we put in a good showing, especially in the first half.”
The Catalan club entered the match fresh off a 3-1 triumph against local rivals Espanyol and a resounding 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish league “clasico.” Their impressive run also included a decisive 4-1 win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, along with commanding victories over Sevilla (5-1), Alaves (3-0), and a 5-0 rout against Young Boys in the Champions League.
