Barcelona kick off the new La Liga campaign against Elche on Sunday at Manuel Martínez Valero, Elx as they seek to make a winning start to the defense of their crown.
The 2026–27 campaign commenced last weekend, but La Blaugrana were given extra preparation time due to the late returns of their players from the World Cup. They were able to squeeze in two more preseason friendlies as a result, beating Basel 5–2 before their 2–1 win over Al Ahly in the annual Joan Gamper Trophy match.
Hansi Flick will demand a swift start from his players, but he will be without some key personnel for the journey to the Estadio Martínez Valero. Elche will be desperate to take advantage and build on last Monday’s 1–1 draw with Deportivo de A Coruña.
Los Franjiverdes have a dismal record in this fixture, though, failing to beat Barça in any competition since 1974. The Catalan giants won both fixtures last term by an aggregate score of 6–2.
