Barcelona is preparing for a decisive match against Levante, in a game that offers them a golden opportunity to regain the top spot in the Spanish league, after Real Madrid suffered a loss against Osasuna, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo'.

Barcelona enters the match trailing by two points behind Real Madrid, meaning that a victory would place them at the top with a one-point lead. The opportunity seems favorable for the Catalan team as they face the second-to-last team in the standings, who have conceded the most goals in the competition '41 goals', while Barcelona is the team with the most goals scored this season with 64 goals.

Despite the numerical advantage, the team is not in its best form, having suffered two consecutive defeats, the first being a 4-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the King's Cup, and the second a 2-1 defeat to Girona in the league, along with a noticeable decline in performance.

The newspaper indicated that coach Hans Flick held three intensive sessions with his players over eight days, the last of which was a full-hour meeting described as an open and honest dialogue. These meetings came after the loss in the first leg of the cup semi-final against Atletico Madrid, which took place at the Metropolitano Stadium, where the coach expressed his anger at the performance, considering it unworthy of a team competing for titles.

Flick also granted his players two days off after the Girona loss, before holding a new meeting to analyze the mistakes, especially what happened in the second half, amidst differing views within the team between the coach's desire to increase pressure and close the lines, and some players' demands to reduce the push due to physical struggles evident in the last match.

Barcelona is expected to host their opponent at the Spotify Camp Nou, in a match that represents a turning point in their season.

The match brings positive news with the return of Pedri and Rashford after recovering from injury, at a time when the team realizes that winning will not solve all problems, but it will restore lost confidence and grant them the top spot, which is a significant moral gain at this stage of the season.
