Gerardo Martino, the coach of FC Barcelona, faced criticism for allowing a slight possession advantage to the opponent during the match against Rayo Vallecano, which ended in a 4-0 victory for Barcelona on the sixth day of the Spanish La Liga.
However, Martino has an opportunity to make history. If Barcelona wins the upcoming match against Almeria, it would mark Martino’s seventh consecutive victory in as many days, setting a record for the best start in Barcelona’s history in La Liga.
Currently, Martino shares the spotlight with five former Barcelona coaches who achieved similar starts in their respective seasons. These coaches include James Bellamy (1929-1930 season), Johan Cruyff (1990-1991), Louis van Gaal (1997-1998), Pep Guardiola (2009-2010), and Tito Vilanova (2012-2013). If Martino secures the victory against Almeria, he would stand alone with the best start among Barcelona managers in the league.
