La Liga 2026–2027: Levante vs. Barcelona, Probable Lineups

Barcelona visits Levante in the 4:15 p.m. match on the fifth matchday of La Liga. The Blaugrana need to respond to Real Madrid, which has caught up with them for first place after Saturday’s victory over Rayo. Flick’s team still has a perfect record, with 17 goals scored in four games. The home team, in their only home game so far, routed Betis Sevilla and should not be underestimated.

Castro lines up his team with Romero as the lone striker, Brugue and Fernandez on the wings, and Olasagasti and Bardeli in midfield. Rey directs play in front of the defense.

Barcelona sticks with a winning formula, scoring with impressive consistency: Flick starts Raphinha again from the 1st minute (Gabriel Jesus on the bench), with Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, and Gordon in the attacking midfield. In midfield, the duo of Pedri and Rodri. The wings are manned by Koundé and Espart.

Levante vs. Barcelona: Probable Lineups
Levante (4-1-4-1): Ryan; Perez, Dela, Mandi, Sanchez; Rey; Brugue, Olasagasti, Bardeli, Fernandez; Romero. Coach: Castro.
FC Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Joan Garcia; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martin, Espart; Pedri, Rodri; Yamal, Fermin, Gordon; Raphinha. Head Coach: Flick.

Flick on the eve of the match: “In soccer, things can change very quickly. We’re enjoying this moment, but if we change our attitude even slightly, we’ll head in the wrong direction—and that’s what we don’t want. We’re very happy to be playing at this level, but we know we have to prove it in every game. We have to stay focused and aggressive.”
