FC Barcelona v Levante UD: Victory for strategy (4-2)

The goalkeepers and set pieces were the main talking points in a new year win for Barcelona

FC Barcelona: Cristian, Gabriel, Saad, Lozano & Ferrao (starting five), Aicardo, Dyego, Lin, Rafa Usín, Wilde & Sedano.

Levante UD: Yeray, Carlitos, Márquez, José Revert & Jordi Lledó (starting five), Kiko, Sena, Álex Oviaño & Pedro.

Goals: 1-0, Ferrao (min.3); 1-1, Jordi Lledó (min.12); 2-1, Aicardo (min.18); 2-2, Sena (min.26); 3-2, Wilde (min.32); 4-2, Wilde (min.39).

It was no easy win this, even though Ferrao put Barça a goal ahead after just three minutes. Levante made things very difficult for the home side are were soon back level thanks to Jordi Lledó. Aicardo got FCB back ahead just two minutes before half-time, but there was still plenty of work to do in the second half.

Javi Sena equalised for Levante five minutes after the restart, but from then on, Barcelona finally took command. Wilde made it 3-2 off a Lin assist and with a minute to go, it was Wilde again, this time from a corner, who made sure of the win.
