Barcelona head into matchday two full of confidence after a strong 3-0 win at Mallorca, and Hansi Flick will want his team to keep that momentum rolling. While the result was helped by Mallorca going down to nine men early, Barça’s attacking play was sharp, with young star Lamine Yamal once again showing his quality.
Flick will also be boosted by the return of Robert Lewandowski to training, giving him another option up front. With eight straight league wins already under their belt, Barcelona now have the chance to extend that run and continue laying down an early marker in their title defence.
Confirmed Barcelona XI to face levante via the club’s official X handle: Garcia, Balde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Eric, Pedri, Casado, Raphinha, Rashford, Yamal, Ferran
For Levante, this game is about proving they can hold their own back in the top flight. Their first outing ended in heartbreak with a late defeat at Alavés, and head coach Julián Calero will want to see a more confident attacking display at home.
The Frogs have been tough to beat in opening home games over the years, and they’ll take inspiration from past upsets against La Liga’s giants. Facing the champions so early is a huge test, but in front of their fans, Levante will believe they can cause problems if they stay disciplined and make the most of their chances.
