Hello everybody and welcome to today's LaLiga EA Sports live blog for the Matchday 25 fixture of Barcelona vs Levante. Barcelona have been handed an immediate opportunity to reclaim top spot in La Liga as they welcome struggling Levante on Sunday afternoon. After Real Madrid slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Osasuna on Saturday, the equation is now simple for Hansi Flick's side: victory would send them back to the summit. That scenario seemed less certain earlier in the week following successive setbacks. A heavy Copa del Rey loss to Atletico Madrid was followed by a 2-1 league defeat at Girona, halting Barcelona's momentum at a pivotal stage of the campaign. The response now feels decisive, particularly with the title race tightening. Levante, meanwhile, arrive in 19th place and seven points adrift of safety, having lost three consecutive league matches. Defensive vulnerabilities have undermined their efforts throughout the season, with 41 goals conceded, the highest total in the division, highlighting the scale of their challenge. Barcelona boast a strong recent record in this fixture and edged a 3-2 contest earlier this term. With first place on the line and relegation concerns looming at the other end, the stakes at both extremes of the table are clear.
