Barcelona host Racing Santander at Spotify Camp Nou in LaLiga, looking to extend what has been a near-flawless start to the 2026/27 season.

Hansi Flick's side have won all five of their opening league fixtures, scoring 19 goals in the process. Their most recent outing, a 4-2 victory away at Levante, kept them three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table.

Lamine Yamal has been central to that momentum, converting from the penalty spot against Levante to continue a remarkable run of form. The 19-year-old has publicly declared himself a Ballon d'Or contender, naming himself and Kylian Mbappe as the two best players in the world right now.

Summer signing Anthony Gordon is yet to open his account in Spain but manager Flick has been vocal in his backing of the England winger, pointing to his tactical contributions as evidence of his value to the team. Gordon himself has warned opponents that Barcelona's attacking variety makes them nearly impossible to contain.

New arrival Rodri has offered a more measured outlook, stressing that the Champions League demands discipline over flair and that the squad still has work to do before it can be considered a finished product in Europe.

Racing Santander arrive in 10th place in the standings. They head into this fixture on the back of a narrow 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves but have been inconsistent across their opening five matches, picking up two wins, one draw, and two defeats.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
