THE PREVIEW
Barcelona vs. Racing de Santander will be one of the headline matches of Matchweek 6 of the 2026-27 La Liga season. The game will take place this Wednesday, September 16, at Spotify Camp Nou, where Barcelona will look to maintain its perfect start against Racing de Santander, who have returned to the top flight determined to compete against Spain's biggest clubs.
BARCELONA
Managed by Hansi Flick, Barcelona enter the match as La Liga leaders with 15 points, having won each of their first five games.
Barça have shown impressive attacking firepower and will look to extend their winning streak with a sixth consecutive victory. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will once again be among the biggest threats to the visiting defense, thanks to their ability to beat defenders and create scoring opportunities.
The Catalan side will be without several players. Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji are unavailable, while Gerard Martín and Bisiwu are doubts for the game.
RACING DE SANTANDER
The Cantabrian side have collected 7 points from their first five matches, with a record of two wins, one draw and two defeats. Their return to the Spanish top flight has produced a competitive start, although they now face one of their toughest challenges of the season.
Racing de Santander will look to close down spaces, withstand Barcelona's pressure and make the most of their opportunities as they attempt to shock the league leaders. André Almeida will miss the game through suspension following his red card in the previous matchday.
History also presents a major challenge for the visitors: Racing have not won away at Barcelona since 1983. Camp Nou will host a clash between a league leader looking to maintain its perfect record and a newly promoted side determined to compete until the final whistle.
