"Barcelona took on Levante on Sunday afternoon looking to make a statement after two straight defeats, and they did take all three points at the Spotify Camp Nou. Marc Bernal handed the team the early lead before Frenkie de Jong doubled the margin later in the half. Given the number of chances they created, however, the scoreline should have been far more dominant."
"Cancelo's performance against Levante last night was not just his best display since coming back but one of the most impressive performances a Barcelona player has delivered at left-back in recent times. The winter arrival was fabulous with his movement, all over Levante's defence and repeatedly threatened with accurate crosses. His work rate off the ball was impressive and he deservedly earned the assist for Frenkie de Jong's goal."
"Gerard Martin: 7 Paired alongside Eric Garcia in defence, Martin dished out a stable performance and was always wary of the threat with balls over the top. His positioning was great for most of the game, but a booking late in the first half forced him to be more cautious and calculated with his challenges. Eric Garcia: 8.5 Garcia took charge of leading the defence on the night and dished out a very mature performance in every aspect of the game."
Barcelona beat Levante 3-0 at the Spotify Camp Nou, ending a two-match losing streak. Marc Bernal opened the scoring early and Frenkie de Jong added a second before halftime. Barcelona created many chances and could have produced a more dominant scoreline. Joao Cancelo delivered a standout performance at left-back, providing the assist for de Jong and consistently troubling Levante with crosses and movement. Joan Garcia kept a clean sheet with several smart saves. Gerard Martin and Eric Garcia provided stable, mature defensive displays, with Martin booked late and Garcia leading the backline. Pedri returned from injury and Fermin scored a golazo.
