Barcelona returned to the summit of La Liga after a commanding 3-0 victory over Levante at the Camp Nou, demonstrating the kind of dominance expected from the reigning Spanish champions. The Catalan side maintained control from the opening whistle to the final minute, securing a win that temporarily wrested the top position from arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Right from the start, Barcelona adopted an aggressive approach. In the fifth minute, Bernal opened the scoring with a clinical finish, giving the home team an early 1-0 lead. This early strike set the tone for a match in which Levante struggled to gain any foothold.
By the 32nd minute, Barcelona doubled their advantage. Joao Cancelo delivered a perfectly weighted assist to Frenkie de Jong, who made no mistake in slotting the ball past the goalkeeper. The first half concluded with Barcelona comfortably ahead 2-0, having dictated the tempo throughout.
Joao Cancelo proved once again to be a linchpin for the team, contributing decisively to both goals. Robert Lewandowski also impressed, creating multiple opportunities and keeping Levante’s defence under constant pressure.
The second half saw Barcelona continue with the same starting eleven, controlling possession and dictating the play at Camp Nou. In the 80th minute, a long-range effort from Fermín López nearly added another goal, with the shot narrowly grazing the post.
Pedri returned from injury, making brief but impactful appearances, while Raphinha was reinstated in the starting lineup. Their contributions helped reinforce the team’s rhythm and ensured that Barcelona could maintain their dominance throughout the match.
This victory not only secures three crucial points but also marks a morale boost during a challenging period for the club. It demonstrates Barcelona’s resilience and their ability to perform under pressure, sending a strong signal to their title rivals.
