The defeat at Anoeta against Real Sociedad (2-1) ended Barça's 9-game winning streak in LaLiga 25/26. Sunday's loss was the Catalan team's third defeat in the tournament, all away from home
FC Barcelona fell in their visit to Real Sociedad (2-1) on Sunday at Anoeta. The goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Gonçalo Guedes, along with controversial refereeing in San Sebastián, ended a streak of 9 consecutive victories for Hansi Flick's team in LaLiga, and 11 wins in a row across all competitions
Barça's last stumble in the tournament had been on October 26 against Real Madrid (2-1). Since then, the Catalans defeated Elche (3-1), Celta (2-4), Athletic (4-0), Alavés (3-1), Atlético (3-1), Betis (3-5), Osasuna (2-0), Villarreal (0-2), and Espanyol (0-2) to finish the first half of the season as winter champions.
In the league, the absolute record still belongs to Pep Guardiola's Barça, who **won 16 consecutive matchdays in the 2010/11 season**. The streak that Flick's team does maintain in the tournament is that of consecutive matches scoring in the league, which now reaches 40 dates.

Second consecutive defeat for Barça at Anoeta
The Blaugrana team, with the German coach on the bench, has only lost in four LaLiga stadiums: El Sadar (Pamplona), Anoeta (San Sebastián), Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Seville), and Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
However, Real Sociedad's ground is the only one with a double negative balance for Flick's team, who last season had also lost by the narrowest of margins (1-0) in a match with another controversial refereeing performance
As visitors, Barça's record in 24/25 was **14 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses**. This season, **Barça has 7 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses away from home**, while at home the team has a perfect record in 9 matches.
End of Hansi Flick's best winning streak with Barça
Furthermore, at Anoeta, Barça ended its best streak of consecutive victories since Hansi Flick took the helm of the Blaugrana. The Catalans had not lost since November 25th (3-0 against Chelsea) and managed to win 11 consecutive matches across four competitions, 9 of them with a margin of 2 or more goals.
In fact, **the 9 consecutive league wins occurred this way**, surpassing the best mark of the last decade (8) achieved in 2017. Barça won its last 5 matches with Luis Enrique in the tournament by at least 2 goals and the first 3 with Ernesto Valverde in the same way.
In all competitions, Barcelona's best winning streak dates back to the 2005/06 season (18), with Frank Rijkaard on the bench. Flick, with 11 consecutive wins, matched the achievements of **Luis Enrique** (14/15), **Pep Guardiola** (08/09), and **Franz Platko** (55/56), with the club's second-best consecutive winning streak.
