"The first couple of minutes of the game had a nervous feeling as Levante created two goalmouth chances and Joan Garcia was called to the rescue, and it seemed as though the visitors were ready to wreak havoc. But as soon as a short corner routine from the home team ended with an assist by Eric Garcia and a tap-in for Marc Bernal in the fourth minute, the game changed completely and Barça were in full control for the rest of the half."
"The star of the show in the first half was João Cancelo, who erased all doubts about his surprise inclusion in the starting lineup with a very strong performance. The Portuguese played basically as a left winger and was responsible for every one of the several good attacks Barça created throughout the period, and it was his assist to Frenkie de Jong that doubled the Blaugrana lead and gave them crucial separation in the scoreline."
Barcelona returned to winning form with a 3-0 victory over Levante at Camp Nou, reclaiming the top spot in La Liga.

The team managed the second half confidently, kept a clean sheet, limited Levante's counter opportunities and secured three points after recent defeats.
