Barcelona staged a thrilling comeback in La Liga, overturning a 2-0 deficit against Levante with a late flourish to secure their second consecutive league win under Hansi Flick.
First-Half Struggles
The hosts dominated early, with Ivan Romero scoring a contentious goal in the 18th minute, followed by a penalty from Jose Luis Morales. Despite largely outplaying Levante, Barca’s composure faltered, allowing their rivals to seize momentum with clinical finishing.
Second-Half Resurgence
Barcelona erupted into action in the second half, with Pedri pulling one back in the 55th minute, followed by Ferran Torres’ close-range finish to level the match at 2-2. The Catalans’ relentless pressure paid off as they capitalized on Levante’s defensive errors.
Decisive Twist
In the dying moments, Levante’s defensive lapses proved costly. Unai Elgezabal’s own goal, following a dangerous cross from Lamine Yamal, sealed Barca’s dramatic triumph.
The victory showcased Barcelona’s resilience and tactical adaptability, though the early deficit highlighted areas for improvement. Pedri (6/10) and Torres (7.5/10) stood out for their dynamic contributions, while Levante’s Morales (7/10) and Yamal (6.5/10) impressed but fell short in the final stages.
