“Barcelona” extended its own streak of scoring games, netting two unanswered goals against “Villarreal.” The “Blaugrana” prevailed in the Sunday Spanish championship match thanks to accurate strikes by Raphinha Dias and Lamine Yamal in the 12th and 63rd minutes. The Catalan giant has scored at least one goal in 38 consecutive La Liga fixtures—a club record since 2013, reports Opta. Twelve years ago, “Barça” managed to score in 64 straight matches—the longest run in the league’s history. The next opponent for Hansi Flick’s squad is “Espanyol.” The Barcelona derby will take place on January 3rd. The reigning champions conclude the year atop the league table, ahead of Madrid’s “Real” by four points.
