FC Barcelona will host Levante UD today, 22 February 2026, at 15:15 British time, in a fixture that could reshape the LaLiga title race, Softfootball reports.
Barcelona currently sit second in the 2025/26 LaLiga table with 58 points, just two points behind Real Madrid CF. Madrid’s 2-1 defeat to CA Osasuna on Saturday, 21 February 2026, has opened the door for Barca to reclaim first place.
A victory over Levante would take Barcelona to 61 points, moving them one point clear at the top of the table. It is a massive opportunity, especially after Barcelona themselves dropped points in a 2-1 loss to Girona FC the previous week.
Levante, however, are fighting for survival. Sitting 19th in the table and deep in the relegation zone, they will be desperate for points. Matches against lower-ranked sides can often be tricky, particularly when those teams are battling to avoid the drop.
Looking at the recent head-to-head record between the sides, Barcelona have won seven of the last ten meetings, with one draw and two victories for Levante. On paper, Barcelona are clear favorites, but this weekend has already shown how unpredictable football can be.
From Madrid’s shock defeat to Osasuna to Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Burnley, surprises have dominated the headlines. Barcelona will be fully aware that nothing can be taken for granted.
All eyes now turn to Camp Nou as Barca aim to seize control of the title race.
