#4 Levante vs Barcelona, 16 December 2018
The only team that has defeated Barcelona in La Liga last season was Levante. They shattered Barcelona’s dream of an unbeaten La Liga campaign and inflicted the first league defeat for Ernesto Valverde as Barcelona boss. Levante defeated them 5-4 at home and deprived Barcelona of ultimate glory.
Top Spanish teams like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have failed to win games at Levante in the past few La Liga campaigns. Real Madrid drew 2-2 last season and Atletico Madrid managed to win only once in their last four attempts at Estadi Ciutat de València. Though Barcelona has failed to beat Levante at Estadi Ciutat de València on only one occasion in the recent past, this has all the ingredients of a close contest.
