This is the FCBN cover for today, Sunday, August 24, 2025: Barça signed an epic comeback against Levante in a duel marked by controversy, where the referee and VAR were once again protagonists by pointing out a non-existent penalty.

FC BARCELONA NEWS Cover for Sunday, August 24, 2025: FC Barcelona continues to cultivate its habit of winning by suffering. Against Levante, they repeated the formula: early disadvantage, talent reaction —with goals from Pedri and Ferran— and an epilogue that bordered on the tragicomic, when an own goal by Elgezabal in the 90+1' sealed the comeback. Two games, two victories and one certainty: Hansi Flick's team not only knows how to play, but also knows how to bite when necessary.

But the referee also wanted his share of the spotlight. The season hasn't even taken off and we're already landing on the old ground of the absurd: penalty against for a handball that only the VAR (or imagination) saw and penalty in favor that, despite the clarity of the foul on Lewandowski, passed as if nothing happened. Barça has six points... and an arbitration déjà vu that threatens to become a habit.
