Barcelona have won five out of five in La Liga since former Bayern boss Hansi Flick took over
Flick flying in La Liga
Not only that but they have started banging the goals in – with 11 in their last two La Liga matches.
That momentum took a hit on Thursday, however, as they were beaten at Monaco in the Champions League.
Was that just a blip? Barcelona will look to continue their perfect league campaign on Sunday when they visit Villarreal at 17.30.
“I have told the team to lift their heads up because they are disappointed,” said Flick following the defeat.
“But we have to focus on Sunday. It’s the time to recover, hopefully players will be back with a lot of energy.”
Four points behind Barca are Madrid rivals Atletico and Real, as well as Villarreal – with the top four all unbeaten.
Real host Espanyol on Saturday (20:00) and Atletico at Rayo Vallecano on Sunday (20:00).
Europe’s other 100% records
As well as Bayern and Barcelona, several other teams are looking to maintain their 100% winning starts in the league.
Paris St-Germain, who have scored 16 goals in four games, visit Reims on Saturday (20:00).
PSV Eindhoven have hit 20 goals in their five league wins and go to Fortuna Sittard on Sunday (15:45).
AZ Alkmaar, who have dropped just two points, could be top by that stage if they beat PEC Zwolle on Friday (19:00).
Sporting top the tree in Portugal with 15 points from five games and host AVS on Sunday (20:30).
The two teams within three points of Sporting meet on Saturday, with Vitoria Guimaraes hosting Porto (18:00).
Galatasaray have also won all their games in the Turkish league.
