Barcelona’s march under Hansi Flick this season has been built on a simple but ruthless principle – make home advantage untouchable.
No matter the venue, no matter the circumstances, the reigning champions have turned every stadium they have called home into hostile territory for visiting sides.
The numbers, the performances, and the growing belief around the squad all point to the same conclusion that Barça are laying the foundations of a title-winning campaign.
A look at the home numbers
Barcelona’s journey this season began at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, where they sent an early warning to the league.
Valencia were swept aside 6-0 in a statement performance, before Getafe were comfortably dispatched 3-0.
Circumstances then forced Barcelona back to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
This time, the response was convincing. Real Sociedad were beaten 2-1, Girona fell by the same scoreline, and Elche were put away 3-1.
Different opponents, different challenges, same outcome. Barça adapted, competed, and found ways to win.

The real emotional lift came on November 22nd with the long-awaited return to the Spotify Camp Nou.
Far from needing time to settle, Barcelona immediately turned their true home into a fortress once again.
Athletic Club were dismantled 4-0, Alaves beaten 3-1, Atletico Madrid overpowered 3-1, and Osasuna brushed aside 2-0.
The figures are staggering, having tallied 27 points from a possible 27 at home, with a brutal goal difference of 28 scored and just five conceded.
History suggests titles are built at home, and Barcelona are following that script to perfection.
Their dominance on home soil has been complemented by strong away results, extending their La Liga winning streak to seven matches.
Victories against Celta Vigo and a wild 5-3 win over Betis underline a team that no longer drops intensity outside familiar surroundings.
