El Levante desafía sin premio a un efectivo Barcelona
Un doblete de Lamine y los goles de Espart y Adeyemi derrotan a un rival que se batió con grandeza
Barcelona continued to score goals, at times due to the game and other times due to inertia, as evidenced in the Ciutat de València stadium, which had not yielded a win since February and achieved six consecutive victories, the most recent being a 5-2 victory over Betis. The Barcelona players' record-setting tally proved decisive against the determined Levante.
Flick's team had to win the match with both starters and substitutes after Luís Castro's team threatened a historic comeback against the league leaders. Leading from the start, Barcelona fell behind after 0-3. An ill-advised decision, as they failed to rest the ball or defend against attacking opponents with reckless abandon, as Levante demonstrated.
By 2-3, Flick grew impatient and checked the clock to determine how much time remained before the magic of Adeyemi scored the 2-4 goal.
