On loan, Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford was substituted at half-time on a day he was having his full debut for Barcelona as he was ineffective on the left wing and over running his plays.
The positioning of the 27-year-old forced former Leeds United star Raphinha to play through the middle just behind Ferran Torres who led the line and superstar Lamine Yamal was on the right usual.
After 15th minute, Ivan Romero struck for the home side as he cleverly created space for himself inside the box before slotting home for a really special goal that made it 1-0
Former Manchester City star, Ferran Torres hit the crossbar from close range after he was played in by the very impressive Pedri as Barcelona pushed for the equaliser but instead it was the hosts that increased their lead deep into first-half stoppage time.
Levante got the ball on a very quick transition and in the process of chasing back, Alejandro Balde was adjudged to have handled the ball by the video assistant referee (VAR) after the referee missed the action. The referee, Alejandro Hernandez was asked to go check the screen himself and after a minute he pointed to the penalty spot. Levante’s Jose Luis Morales then stepped up and scored from 12 yards to the delight of the home fans.
At half-time, Barcelona brought on Dani Olmo and Gavi for Rashford and Marc Casado and within eight minutes they were level. Midfield genius, Pedri scored from 25 yards before Torres volleyed in the equaliser.
