Segunda Division champions Levante will look to shock the reigning La Liga champions Barcelona when the two teams lock horns in the second gameweek of the 2025-26 campaign on Saturday night.

Team News:

• Levante will miss out on the services of Alan Matturo, Alfonso Pastor and three other players as they are injured.
• Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Daniel Rodriguez are injured, hence will not be in action for Barcelona. Robert Lewandowski is back in training, but his availability is not yet confirmed.

Player(s) to watch:

Ivan Romero was one of Levante’s most consistent players during their 2024-25 season. Even though he failed to score a goal in the previous game for his side, Romero is going to play a crucial part in helping his side in the final third. He will be looking to step up here.

• Lamine Yamal delivered another sweet performance for FCB as the young Spaniard secured a late goal and also bagged an assist, which helped his side begin their LaLiga title defence on a positive note. Leading the attack from the right, Yamal will yet again go to trouble the opponent’s defence.
