The impressive record that Dani Olmo is on his way to breaking on his return to FC Barcelona

Dani Olmo has landed on his feet at FC Barcelona and has established himself as the best signing of the summer. It was a 'come and go' for the player from Egar, who in his first two games as a Barça player has managed to break the nets of his rivals. In his debut against Rayo Vallecano, the 26-year-old footballer dressed as a hero when he came off the bench in the second half to seal the comeback for the Catalans. The footballer replaced Ferran Torres, and with the score at 1-0 against, he turned the game around with his impact and scored the final 1-2 in Madrid.

Just four days later, in his debut in front of the Barça fans at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the midfielder celebrated the sixth goal of the historic rout against Valladolid (7-0). In this way, Olmo begins to build his way to reaching an impressive mark that only one footballer has been able to reach in the 125-year history of the Catalan institution.

With his goal against the pucelano team, the Euro 2024 champion equaled Ludovic Giuly as the two players who have managed to score two goals in their first two matches wearing the Blaugrana shirt. The last to achieve this feat was José Arnaiz in 2017, but his situation was different, since the footballer belonged to Barça Atlètic. The forward scored with the first team in both matches of the Copa del Rey round of 32 tie against Real Murcia, and also celebrated a goal in his third match as a culé against Celta in the round of 16 of said tournament.

'Ibra's' record on the horizon

Cesc Fabregas was close to putting his name at the top of the list by overtaking Giuly in the 2011/12 season, when he scored in his first four consecutive games for Barça. Despite this, the Catalan was one step away from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who in his only season in Barcelona (2009/10) scored in the first five league games. Therefore, if he maintains the great performance he showed at the start of his journey as a Barça player, Olmo could equal, and even surpass, the Swede's record. A task that has been impossible for some of the big names who have passed through the club in the last 15 years.
