Two defeats and a draw for Barcelona in last six visits to Levante stadium

FC Barcelona face a tough match against Levante this afternoon at the Ciutat de València stadium, despite the significant differences between the two teams in terms of technical and financial levels. The Catalan team has a fluctuating record in their last six visits to their opponent's stadium, having suffered two defeats and a draw, which confirms the difficulty of the encounter.

FC Barcelona enters the match at the top of the LaLiga table with a perfect record, having collected 12 points from 4 matches, with a goal difference of +15. Meanwhile, Levante occupies the 10th position with 5 points from one win, two draws, and one defeat. Hans Flick has warned his players against complacency, emphasizing the need to approach the match with the utmost focus against an opponent capable of competing without fear.

Levante's recent encounters reveal their ability to unsettle FC Barcelona, as their visit in August 2025 ended with the Catalan team winning 3-2, after being two goals down at half-time. Pedri and Ferran Torres led the comeback, with Elguizabal scoring an own goal in the dying minutes.

In April 2022, FC Barcelona needed a late comeback to win 3-2, after Morales put Levante ahead with a penalty. Then Aubameyang and Pedri scored, before Melero equalized from the spot, and Luuk de Jong sealed the match with a goal in stoppage time. In May 2021, FC Barcelona squandered a two-goal lead in the first half, resulting in a 3-3 draw.

In November 2019, the match witnessed one of the biggest surprises in the encounters between the two teams, as FC Barcelona took the lead with a penalty scored by Lionel Messi, before Levante responded with three goals in seven minutes through Campaña, Mayoral, and Radujka. The biggest win for FC Barcelona came in December 2018 with a score of 5-0, after Messi shone and scored a hat-trick.

The May 2018 clash remains the most memorable for fans of both teams, as FC Barcelona lost to Levante 5-4 despite leading the race to finish the season unbeaten. In the absence of Lionel Messi, Kevin-Prince Boateng scored a hat-trick and Borja Mayoral netted two goals for Levante, while Philippe Coutinho scored three goals and Luis Suárez added one, but FC Barcelona failed to complete the comeback.

These results confirm that Levante's stadium represents a real test for the leaders, who will need to maintain their full focus to avoid another surprise.
