FC Barcelona was moving on Levante's lawn this Saturday evening for the 2ᵉ day of Liga. Quickly, Hansi Flick's men were surprised by the promoted. On a transverse by Manu Sánchez to Jeremy Toljan, the latter gave a touch for Ivan Romero. The Spanish middle was playing out of Pau Cubarsi before beating Joan García with a precise shot which ended in the left net (1-0, 15ᵉ). In the additional time of the first period, José Luis Morales dubbed the bet for a strike of the right foot flat, which deceived the goalkeeper in the right side of the goal (2-0, 45+8ᵉ).
Pedri launches the revolt
Upon returning from the locker room, Barça returned with Pedri as an engine. Served by Lamine Yamal, the Spanish environment triggered a 25-meter strike that was lodged in the right skylight (2-1, 49ᵉ), launching the blaugranas revolt. A few minutes later, Ferran Torres equalized thanks to a flight of the right foot, following a corner drawn by Yamal (2-2, 52ᵉ).
The turning point of the match occurred in additional time. On a new center from the right flank signed Yamal, Unai Elgezabal, in the fight with Torres, saw his head lobed beating his goalkeeper and offer the advantage to the abutments (2-3, 90+1). The Spanish champion thus retains the head of the ranking. Levante, yet close to holding the Catalan ogre in check, remains in the red zone and occupies the relegation first.
