Barcelona Triumphs 3-0 at Levante to Maintain Perfect LaLiga Start

Barcelona extended their unbeaten run with a strong 3-0 win over Levante UD. This match took place at the Estadi Ciutat de València on Saturday evening, August 23, 2025. They remain at the top of the LaLiga table.

The Catalan giants came to Valencia after a strong 3-0 win at Mallorca. They quickly showed their dominance. Robert Lewandowski got the first goal in the 12th minute. He smoothly turned in a low cross from Raphinha. A moment later, Lamine Yamal made it 2-0. He curled a shot from the edge of the box, leaving Levante’s goalkeeper frozen.

Levante, in their first home match back in the top flight, had a hard time creating chances. They also struggled to resist Barcelona’s strong attacks. In the 68th minute, Pedri scored to make it 3-0. He made a quick run into the penalty area and calmly slid the ball past the approaching goalkeeper.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick praised his team’s “clinical efficiency” after the match. He noted that even with the one-sided score, Levante defended strongly in the second half. The victory moves Barcelona to six points from two matches, one point clear of Real Betis. Levante, who fell to a 2-1 defeat at Alavés on opening day, remain pointless and occupy 17th place.
