Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta is hoping for more of the same in Sunday evening's Primera Division clash at home to Levante.
The Catalan giants take on a wounded Levante side looking to build on their superb form before Christmas.
Barca finished 2010 on an unbeaten 23-match run in all competitions, 19 of which finished in victories, and in winning their last 10 successive league games Pep Guardiola's side have scored 41 goals and conceded only four.
The reigning Spanish champions suffered a slight blip in their final game before the winter break when they were held to a goalless draw at home by Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their Copa del Rey last-16 tie, but that was a rare slip for the La Liga leaders, who last year won 44 of 58 competitive matches, losing only five.
Looking ahead to the next 12 months, Iniesta is hoping his side can keep that impressive form going and, while he preferred not to make any title promises, he insisted they would be doing everything possible to bring more silverware back to the Nou Camp.
"We are looking forward to starting the year, but there is a very hard 2011 ahead of us," he said.
"We can't guarantee titles or even that we will repeat the successes of 2010, but we can assure you that we will be doing our very best to get to the end of this season with our chances still intact to win everything. I'm certain that the team won't let anybody down."
The Spain international, who struck the winning goal in last summer's World Cup final, added: "We have to try and continue where we left off before the break. We had some great games."
Barca, who boast a two-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table, will be without their first-choice centre-back pairing of Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol due to suspension and injury, respectively.
Lionel Messi could also be absent as Guardiola gave the Argentina superstar permission not to return from his holiday until this weekend.
Xavi, meanwhile, will equal Migueli's club record of 549 official appearances if he features on Sunday.
While Barca will have been disappointed with their cup result last time out, Levante will be desperate to erase the memory of their result after they were thumped 8-0 at Real Madrid.
With their cup adventure now all but over, Levante will switch their full attention to retaining their Primera Division status.
Luis Garcia's men have won just four times in 16 games since winning promotion and are currently 16th in the table, two points above the relegation zone.
