"The victory was impressive, not only because of the clean sheet, but because all three goals came from midfield. The movement from deep, the timing of the runs and the composure in front of goal made the difference. It was dynamic, it was sharp and, at times, it was beautiful to watch. Yet while the midfielders celebrated, there was visible frustration from Robert Lewandowski."
"The veteran striker barely influenced the match, and for long spells, he was isolated. Levante defended deep, closed central spaces and limited service into the box. As a result, Lewandowski struggled to impose himself. When he was substituted in the 65th minute, his expression said everything. It was not the look of a satisfied forward in a winning team. Worrying times for Lewandowski This continues a worrying trend, as Lewandowski has scored just two goals in his last seven appearances."
Barcelona produced a controlled 3-0 win over Levante with all three goals originating from midfield, driven by deep movement, timed runs and composure in front of goal. The midfield performance was dynamic, sharp and often aesthetically pleasing, producing a clean sheet. Robert Lewandowski appeared isolated for long spells as Levante defended deep and closed central channels, limiting service into the box. Lewandowski managed two shots (one on target) and completed just 11 passes before being substituted in the 65th minute, reflecting a recent run of two goals in seven matches and growing uncertainty over his future under Flick.
