Barcelona made the trip to the Estadi Ciutat de València on Sunday, 13 September 2026 and left with a 2-4 win that never really looked in doubt after the opening 45 minutes. The visitors were two goals clear at the break and controlled the game from there, even as Levante threw men forward in the second half searching for a way back in. The home side did get a couple of goals to show for their efforts, but by then the damage had already been done, and Barcelona always had an answer when it mattered. Four goals on the road settles any debate about the gap between these two sides right now. Levante will be frustrated at conceding twice before half-time and handing themselves such a steep hill to climb, though credit to them for not folding completely and making a game of it late on. For Barcelona, it's the kind of away result that keeps them firmly in the title conversation, a win built on a strong start that their opponents simply couldn't claw back from.
The Matchup
Barcelona beat Levante 2-4 at Estadi Ciutat de València, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 25% in favour of Levante, Barcelona made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 13 attempts from Levante against 12 from Barcelona over the course of the game. Levante had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
