    FT: Levante 2-3 Barcelona. That's it! It's all over here at the Ciutat de Valencia. What a second half of football that was! After a goalless first half, it was Levante who opened the scoring from the penalty spot. The home side then missed another penalty before Auba drew level. Pedri put Barca in front 4 minutes later until Melero converted Levante's third spot kick of the game in the 83rd minute. There was enough time for Luuk De Jong to get the winner though after he headed home on 94 mins

    GOOOAAAL FOR BARCAAA! Pedri with it! He was brought on to do just that. Positioned on the edge of the box he receives a cut back and sweeps the ball first time to the back post where it nestles in the bottom corner.

    GOOOAAAAAL FOR BARCAAA! Who else? Dembele cuts it back onto his left and floats a ball into the six yard box. Auba's there to rise highest and nod it past the keeper!
  • 58'
    Pedri and Gavira ON. Nico and De Jong OFF.
  • 56'
    Ter Stegen stops it!!! I feel justice has been done as that was a very soft decision from the ref to award the penalty.
  • 55'
    ANOTHER penalty to Levante! The ball strikes Garcia's arm as the corner comes in and the ref points to the spot for handball.

    PENALTY TO LEVANTE! Campana drives into the box and Alves trips him!
  • 49'
    Great save keeper! Dembele is passed the ball on the right hand side of the box and whips in a cross. Ferran meets it and sends it goalwards. Cardenas flies to his left to stop the certain goal.
  • 48'
    Ferran fouled by a clumsy challenge from behind in the middle of the park.
  • 46'
    Levante get us back underway here!
  • 45'
    HT: Levante 0-0 Barcelona. Half time here at the Ciutat de Valencia. The score is goalless after a very evenly matched half in terms of chances. Barca have had more of the ball but it was Levante who came closest to opening the scoring after Morales experlty drove into the box and chipped past Ter Stegen, only to see the ball cleared off the line. Barca will need to be more inventive in the final third if they want to unlock the Levante defense in the second half.
  • 43'
    Unlucky! Campana tries to sneak a pass through to Morales which would have seen him go one on one with the keeper. Araujo does just enough to prevent it from reaching the Levante captain!
  • 41'
    Finally someone has a shot. Ferran cuts in from the left and hits one towards goal. Cardenas is well positioned to pat the ball down and hold it in his clutches.
  • 39'
    Barca corner after a long pass attempt is cleared behind.
  • 38'
    Barca with comfortable possession now but they cannot seem to find the killer pass at the moment.
  • 33'
    Dembele gets into a dangerous situation and looks as though he's about to let fly. Too much dithering on the ball sees him dispossessed!
  • 26'
    Cleared off the line!!! Morales drives with the ball, skipping challenges as if he's Maradona. Once in the box, he tries to chip the on-rushing Ter Stegen who gets an arm to it to slow the effort just enough for the Barca defense to cover round and clear it off the line!
  • 24'
    Dembele bursts down the right and earns his team a corner.
  • 23'
    Levante corner.
  • 21'
    Ferran should do better! Long punt up field from Ter Stegen sees the Barca forward go one on one with the keeper. He shoots early and the keeper easily makes the block.
  • 20'
    20 minutes gone here and most of the game has been played in the middle of the park. Barca have had the lion's share of the possession but have not done much with it.
  • 16'
    Alves is down after he tries to poke a ball through to Auba but his foot gets stuck in the turf.
