Barcelona vs Levante: match preview and form

Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona arrives at the Ciutat de València with the aim of adding their second consecutive victory in LaLiga EA Sports.

The Blaugrana defeated Mallorca 0-3 at Son Moix in a match where they demonstrated their offensive potential with goals from Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal.

The thrashing against the Bermellones was especially forceful, especially after the two expulsions suffered by Mallorca in the first half. Manu Morlanes saw a straight red in the 33rd minute, and Vedat Muriqi was sent off for a double yellow in the 39th minute, leaving the local team with nine players.

The German coach has practically the entire Culé squad available, with the only doubt being Frenkie de Jong, who continues to recover from his ankle injury.

Levante seeks its first points in Primera

For its part, Julián Calero's Levante UD faces this commitment with the need to add its first points in its return to Primera División.

The Granotas were defeated at Mendizorroza against Deportivo Alavés by 2-1, despite taking the lead with a goal from Pablo Martínez.

The Valencian team will have the incentive of playing at home in front of their fans, who sold out the 25,354 tickets available to receive FC Barcelona. Ticket prices range between 90 euros for the most economical areas and 230 euros for Central Tribune.

Which players will be key in Levante vs Barcelona?

The young 18-year-old winger showed his quality against Mallorca scoring a great goal from outside the area in added time.

Raphinha will seek to continue his great moment after opening the scoring at Son Moix with a perfect header, while Ferran Torres will try to confirm his good form after his goal on the first matchday.
