Barcelona has maintained a perfect start to the 2026/27 season, securing seven consecutive La Liga victories and winning their Champions League opener against Feyenoord. Brazilian forward Raphinha notably scored his second consecutive hat-trick in their recent 3-1 triumph over Sevilla. The Catalan giants now face a challenging October schedule following the international break. This includes a home fixture against Getafe, an away Champions League clash with Galatasaray, and a domestic encounter against Real Betis. The month culminates with two significant tests: an away Champions League match against two-time European champions Paris Saint-Germain, followed by the highly anticipated El Clasico against Real Madrid in La Liga. Jose Mourinho's return as Real Madrid's manager adds a compelling dynamic to the upcoming El Clasico, intensifying the rivalry.
