Barcelona Femení on verge of setting impressive consecutive league win record | OneFootball

Barcelona Femení are on the verge of recording 50 successive league wins, the most in the history of football.

The side triumphed 3-0 against Sporting Club de Huelva this afternoon, with two goals from Asisat Oshoala and another from Mariona Caldentey.

It was their 49th consecutive victory in Liga F since a 4-3 loss to Atlético Madrid in June 2021.

Their next league encounter will be against Levante Las Planas on January 25th, and a win would get them to the magic 50 tally.

As reported by Forbes, it would be the first time in history that a football club has won that many successive league matches, with FIFA including the possibility in a list of records that could be broken in 2023.

Who else has recorded impressive league winning streaks?

Barcelona’s record is already far higher than anything officially achieved in men’s football.

SL Benfica hold the record for the most successive league victories across the top men’s flights in European football, racking up 29 wins between 1971 and 1973.

Non-league side Jersey Bulls, located in the Channel Islands, won 36 league matches in a row between 2019 and 2021.

Barcelona have some way to go before breaking the record for the longest unbeaten run ever, set by Steaua București between 1986 and 1989.

Who plays for Barcelona Femení?

Barcelona are one of the most dominant teams in football right now. They went last season unbeaten, scoring 159 goals and conceding just 11. This season, the side have already hit the back of the net 56 times and let in just four.

The squad includes stars such as Aitana Bonmatí, Mapi León, Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh, with Alexia Putellas and Caroline Graham Hansen soon set to return from injury.

They are not completely invincible, however. Barcelona lost to Bayern Munich in the group stages of the Champions League this season, and nearly let their impressive record in the league slip against Real Sociedad.

Bronze popped up with a last minute goal to ensure Barcelona kept up their winning ways.
