Defending La Liga champions, Barcelona staged a fightback from two goals down to beat Levante three goals to two.

Barcelona as a whole had been poor in the first half and fell behind in the 15th minute when Ivan Romero struck, later Alejandro Balde was deemed to have handled the ball by the video assistant referee then Jose Luis Morales stepped up to score from the spot.

Barcelona were level within eight minutes of the second half, as Pedri first fired a superb strike into the top corner from twenty-five yards before Ferran Torres volleyed in an equaliser.

It looked like they would have to settle for a point but a stunning second-half turnaround was completed in the first minute of stoppage time when Levante’s Unai Elgezabal headed Lamine Yamal’s fine cross into his own net.

Barcelona played in last season’s away shirts because of La Liga rules on colour clashes as all three of their current kits were deemed to not provide enough contrast to Levante’s home shirt.
