Levante
BarcelonaCouldn't catch the game live, but I caught a replay of the match. First things first, Raphinha getting a touch off the ball to accommodate Espart for the 1st goal is Chef's kiss, whether it was intentional or not really doesn't matter because Raphinha did look to have lost possession, regardless, that was a beautiful setup. 2. Raphinha forcing the keeper to come out of his box and defend the incoming threat of a goal was genius. Then, Raphinha tricked the keeper by making a diagonal pass which Lamine finds to get the 2nd goal of the match is vintage Barça style football. Lamine and Raphinha's chemistry is just unmatched. Elite level duo who compliment each other with goals and assists. Raphinha 2 assists and Lamine with 2 goals. 3. I won't get into the penalty because I feel it wasn't a penalty, but other teams get soft calls like that so we take what we can get. 4. Karim Adeyemi just singlehandedly mocked that defense and said I'm him, Levante were on the verge of a comeback with all that momentum. When Adeyemi scored that crucial 4th goal, it essentially killed any chance of a draw or comeback for Levante. My Final Thoughts on this match: Levante away is no joke and getting the 3 points makes this much sweeter. Yeah it's stressful, but remember that there will be more games like this. Many teams will want to mess up our title push so getting these points early on will work in our favor when the season starts to reach its final stretch of games.
