Despite losing to PSG, Barca still set an unprecedented record

The loss to PSG did not diminish Barcelona’s historic achievement, as the Catalan team set a unique record by scoring in 45 straight matches across all competitions.

Ferran Torres became the focal point when he opened the scoring for Barcelona in the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on the early morning of October 2. More than just a goal, this strike marked a historic milestone for Barca: scoring in 45 consecutive games on all fronts.

This impressive feat officially broke the club’s previous record that stood for over 80 years, set between 1942 and 1944. It highlights the team’s consistent attacking strength and the continuation of the Catalan club’s fiery football tradition through generations.

Torres’s goal came in the 19th minute following intense pressing. Lamine Yamal quickly intercepted a faulty pass from Vitinha before the ball was played out to the left wing for Marcus Rashford. The English forward showed sharp tactical vision by delivering a piercing pass that split PSG’s defense, setting Torres up one-on-one with goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. The Spanish striker did not miss the chance, finishing precisely to give Barca the lead.

This was Ferran Torres’s fifth goal of the season, making him Barcelona’s top scorer so far, surpassing senior player Robert Lewandowski. Torres’s clear progress brings renewed confidence to coach Hansi Flick, especially as he works to build a youthful, fast, and flexible attacking line.

Not only Torres, but the performances of other stars like Rashford and the young talent Yamal also contributed to affirming the team’s collective strength. The blend of experience and youth is turning Barcelona into one of the most exciting attacking teams in Europe.

The record of scoring in 45 consecutive matches is not only a historic milestone but also a declaration of Barca’s ambitions in this season’s Champions League.
