Barcelona one goal away from historic La Liga milestone

Barcelona have the opportunity to make history in La Liga in Wednesday's match against Getafe. The 'Azulgrana' are one goal away from reaching 6500 goals in La Liga.

At the moment, they are tied with rivals Real Madrid on 6499, however, 'Los Blancos' have already played their matchday 7 game against Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday. This means that should Hansi Flick's men score, the club would be the first in the league's history to reach the milestone. 

Barcelona and Real Madrid have been battling it out for the lead since the very first edition of La Liga in 1929. The two clubs have been taking the lead off each other since the beginning of times, with Barcelona trailing in second position for longer period of time in total. The biggest gap in goals between the two rivals was established in 1990, when Madrid accumulated a 139-goal lead over Barca. 

With their promising goalscoring form, supporters will hope the side, lead by Flick, will be able to clinch the lead over their rivals and reach the 6500 mark. Barcelona have scored 16 goals in their last three La Liga fixtures - 5 goals aganst Villareal, 4 goals against Girona, 7 goals against Real Valladoid - which will for sure be a confidence boost for the players in getting the job done.
