Barcelona edged Racing Santander 2‑0 in the Copa del Rey, extending a winning streak to 11 games. Hansi Flick shrugged off the record, calling it “nothing” while celebrating a clean sheet and a second‑half surge from Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal for the club's momentum and fans today.

The win kept Barcelona atop LaLiga, where they hold a four‑point cushion over rivals. After a narrow Supercopa victory over Real Madrid, the team faced a spirited Segunda side that threatened to level the score, but goalkeeper Joan García made a decisive stop in the match today again.

Flick praised the squad's attitude, noting that Racing's performance was a reminder of the club's competitive spirit. He emphasized that victories hinge on mentality rather than star power, a sentiment echoed after Real Madrid's unexpected exit from the same competition in the Copa del Rey this season today.

With the Copa quarterfinals looming, Barcelona will look to maintain momentum against higher‑tier opponents. Analysts predict that the team's blend of youth and experience will be tested, especially as the club balances domestic ambitions with the looming Champions League campaign for the season and future success today again.
