Barcelona’s
3-0 win over Internazionale marked their ninth successive win in the Champions
League. The return was a 0-0 draw in Milan…,so no 12th win.
This
record-breaking streak started on 18 September 2002 and outweighs the run by
Borussia Dortmund in the main competition of the 1996/1997 and 1997/1998
Champions League. Barca’s last match before this sequence was a 1-1 draw
against archrivals Real Madrid in the semi-finals of last year’s Champions
League.
Besides
the longest winning streak in the Champions League Barcelona also equalled the
record for most successive victories in all European matches. The record of 11
consecutive was set by Ajax in the 1986/1987 and 1987/1988 Cup Winners Cup.
