Barcelona controlled the game throughout the match in front of a squat lift in his field, hoping to find your options on the counterattack. However, the Catalan side in attack was much less precise than usual and never relinquished Levante maintain precautions.

In sum, the Barcelona just arrived at the opponent’s goal and just left the Levant plot. Neither team seemed uncomfortable with the role that corresponded in a match tie smelled from the beginning.

The first round of the Barcelona half-hour. Only robbery was interrupted by a ball from the rival sporadic and inaccurate centers of the visiting team’s players as they approached the area of ​​Levante.

Mou’s team, Barca have not won, has lost the league because all he has stolen from the large (Villarreal, Sevilla, Valencia, Athletic, Athletic) has lost the ‘humble’ (draw against Mallorca, Levante Almeria defeat Deportivo Levante, Osasuna, Sporting and Zaragoza).

In fact, at this stage of the League’s team leader Jose Mourinho would have won at home against Sporting and Zaragoza, and out having scored three points in Pamplona, ​​or in stadiums that tied: Mallorca, Almeria, La Coruna and the City of Valencia.

This shows that Real Madrid has not taken the measure to teams called ‘small’ and punctures have not been in the stadiums of the top teams of the Liga, but against groups that, under normal conditions, are far from positions of privilege.

Almeria (0-8), Osasuna (0-3), Deportivo (0-4) and Mallorca (0-3), have seen their flying points way to Barcelona stadium.
