Levante put the dent into Barcelona's near-legendary run to put it to abrupt end at the very end of the season

in football •  7 years ago 

No intrigue left in La Liga anymore after the shock 5:4 win of Levante against overconfident Barcelona. Blaugranas were down 1:2 after the first half but in second half Catalans found themselves in the real mess as they burned down 1:5 and never recovered.

As the result, Granotas has abruptly finished Barcelona’s unbeaten run: Valverde and his men failed to put themselves alongside the Invincible teams such as Capello’s Milan, Wenger’s Arsenal and Conte’s Juventus.

  • It’s a first La Liga loss of Barcelona for exactly 400 days
  • Last time Barcelona has missed 5 goals 15 years ago in the clash against Malaga

Barca's defensive line was very weak an this is what lost the game. Plus a bad night for the midfielders.

Overconfidence and lack of concentration aren't good friends of football

That match showed that it's hard for Barca players to win a match without Messi. The game against Sevilla shows that too.

Yup, and same old defensive problems has emerged as well

Dembele once again showed he is not worth that money. He is still young and I hope he can improve in the next season.
Barcelona's defence were sleeping during that match.

I love the fact that they did not finish the league unbeaten but they would have merited it if it did happen. This ratifies the fact that football is unpredictable and that's why we love it.

Absolutely, that's why we love it. And bookies as well :)

No Messi, no Barcelona.
