Barcelona remain on the road for their second La Liga outing of 2025–26, as they travel along the Balearic Sea to face Levante on Saturday evening.
The champions’ campaign got off to a serene start on opening weekend, although Hansi Flick was left furious with his players, after he deemed them to have coasted through the second half.
Two first-half red cards for Mallorca meant Barça, then 2–0 up, had three points in the bag, but they only added one more goal to their tally during the remainder of the contest. Flick reportedly told his players that they will not reclaim their La Liga crown playing at that level.
Still, their easy triumph means they’re top of the table, and there was no triumphant return to the top flight for Levante, who won the Segunda last term and are back in the top flight for the first time since 2022.
Saturday’s host were beaten by another relegation candidate, Alavés, 2–1 last weekend. They’re now gunning for their first win over Barça since 2019 and seventh ever.
Here’s guide to Barcelona’s upcoming La Liga clash.
