Barça's Relentless Road Win: Barcelona's Away Form Stays Unstoppable in Europe
21 January 2026
Barça's relentless away streak continues in Europe
Barcelona extended a remarkable away run as they faced Slavia Prague in the seventh round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
The first half finished level at 2-2, with Fermín López netting both Barça goals, while the hosts replied through an own goal credited to Lewandowski and a strike by Slavia Prague's Vasyl Kozy.
According to Mister Chip on X, this is Barça's eighth consecutive away game across all competitions.
The tally recalls a similar spell Barça enjoyed in January 2021.
Key moments and context
Before facing Slavia Prague, under coach Xavi, Barça had played seven away matches in all competitions, starting with a 2-0 Copa del Rey win over Guadalajara, then wins at Villarreal and Espanyol in La Liga.
From there Barcelona travelled to Jeddah for the Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Athletic Bilbao, sealing a 5-0 victory, and went on to lift the trophy by beating Real Madrid 3-2 in the final.
Back in Spain, they beat Racing Santander 2-0 in the King's Cup last-16, before a 2-1 setback at Real Sociedad in La Liga last weekend.
In the end, Barcelona's away resilience keeps their European campaign on track.
“This run mirrors a similar stretch from January 2021,” a club observer noted.
Humorously, one might say Barça’s away form is so consistent that even the away fans are filing for seasonal visas.
As the campaign rolls on, the question remains: can this away magic carry Barça through the deeper stages of Europe? Only the next away trip will tell.
Sniper punchlines:
Punchline 1: If away form were a passport, Barça would have stamps from every country—and they’d still want a couple more pages.
Punchline 2: Being away from Camp Nou? Barça would win gold in a sport where the only spectators are the away fans who forgot their car keys.
