FC Barcelona's 5-2 win in Belgrade continued an incredible run for the Catalans. The Catalans have not drawn an official match since March 3, 2024

FC Barcelona won their fourteenth victory of the season in 16 official matches of the 2024/25 season against Red Star on Wednesday (2-5). In the Champions League, the Catalans have three consecutive victories after losing on the opening day against Monaco.

In total, there are seven consecutive victories (scoring at least 3 goals in all) since the defeat in the League against Osasuna on September 28. In the League, the balance is 4 victories, with 15 goals scored and only 2 against. In Europe, there are 3 wins with 14 goals scored and only 3 conceded.

In this sense, Barça extended an incredible streak of games without drawing this year, which already exceeds 8 months. The last time the Blaugrana team tied a duel was on March 3 of this year, when they visited Athletic Club (0-0) on matchday 27 of LaLiga 2023/24.

Barça have gone 30 games without a draw between the League and the Champions League

Counting the 16 official matches this season (12 in La Liga, 4 in the Champions League), that's 30 consecutive games in which Barça have won or lost. 14 were with Xavi Hernández in charge (11 in La Liga, 3 in the Champions League), with a record of 11 wins and only 3 losses (against Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Girona).

Thus, the Barça's record during the streak without a draw is 25 wins and 5 losses (3 in La Liga, 2 in the Champions League). During the preseason, the team drew two matches on the American tour, against Manchester City and AC Milan (both 2-2).

However, these friendlies on American soil, which were decided on penalties (4-1 win against City and 3-4 loss against Milan) do not count as official. The last time Barça went so long without drawing was 97 years ago, in 1927.

Overall record of Barça's games without a draw

In the League: 23 games (20 wins and 3 losses).
In the Champions League: 7 games (5 wins and 2 losses).
This season: 16 games (12 in the League, 4 in the Champions League), with 14 wins and 2 losses.
In 2023/24: 14 games (11 in the League, 3 in the Champions League), with 11 wins and 3 losses.
