The 2026/27 season has been off to a brilliant start for FC Barcelona as they have looked unstoppable.
The Blaugrana, managed by Hansi Flick, have won each of their eight games in all competitions, including seven in La Liga, while scoring a total of 36 goals in the process.
Currently sitting at the top of the La Liga standings, the reigning champions have already opened up a five-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid.
Given their excellent performances, Barcelona find themselves heavily represented in the La Liga monthly award nominations for September.
Raphinha leading the way
Kicking off, Barça captain Raphinha finds himself nominated for the La Liga Player of the Month for September.

The 29-year-old forward is currently the leading scorer in La Liga with 12 goals, with his performances in September being at a whole other level.
Indeed, Raphinha started the month with a goal against Valencia, followed by two assists against Levante. The Brazilian international then bagged back-to-back hat-tricks against Racing Santander and Sevilla, taking his tally to seven goals for the month.
As such, he is a frontrunner to win the La Liga Player of the Month for September, although he will compete with Real Madridβs Kylian Mbappe, Elcheβs Fer Nino, Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano, and Jonathan David of Atletico Madrid.
Flick, Cubarsi also in the running
Meanwhile, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick finds himself nominated for the La Liga Coach of the Month prize for September.
