In the 25th round of the Spanish championship, Barcelona convincingly defeated one of the outsiders, Levante, 3-0 at home. At a time when La Liga was in full swing, such a "clean" victory was a crucial signal for the Catalans: the team not only earned points but also recovered spiritually.
The match took place at Camp Nou, and the hosts took control of the game "before they could blink." Bernal opened the scoring in the 4th minute - an early goal disrupted the visitors' plan, giving the tempo of the game to Barcelona. Midway through the first half, de Jong also contributed: a goal in the 32nd minute made the score look even more advantageous.
The Catalans continued to press down in the second half. Most excitingly, one of the team's main midfielders, Pedri, recovered from injury and came on as a substitute. This episode became a mood "buster" for both the stands and the team: if a key player returns, it means additional options will appear for the upcoming big matches.
Fermin scored the final goal in the 81st minute - 3:0. This brings Barcelona's points tally to 61, surpassing Real Madrid with 60 points and once again climbing to the top of the table. Levante remain in 19th place with 18 points, further exacerbating the situation in the lower zone.
