Barcelona showed the resilience of champions on Saturday night, overturning a two-goal halftime deficit to claim a dramatic 3-2 win away at Levante.
Before the game, Barcelona knew they had to win their next game in order to have momentum and the result keeps Hansi Flick's men perfect in LaLiga this season with two wins from two and extends their remarkable run of nine straight away victories in the competition.
Softfootball reports that things could hardly have started worse for the visitors. Ivan Romero stunned the Catalans on 15 minutes, slipping beyond Barca's high defensive line before finishing coolly past Joan Garcia. And just when Barcelona looked as if they might steady themselves, disaster struck in stoppage time. A VAR check penalized Alejandro Balde for handball, and Jose Luis Morales confidently converted from the spot to double Levante's advantage with virtually the last kick of the half.
