Even though a bit late, Barca completed the comeback. In my opinion the penalty decision was wrong. If the first half had ended 1-0, Barca's comeback would've been easier. Scoring two goals back-to-back right at the start of the second half made things much simpler for them. From Pedri's excellent goal onward, Barca gave the feeling they were going to win the match. They didn't get Yamal on the ball enough in the final minutes, but he still created the decisive goal at the crucial moment. Dropping points against Levante would've been bad, but for now they're doing well in the league. If Atletico fall off early this season, we might only see a competition with Real Madrid again.

The penalty decision was a bit harsh but what I said when I saw the penalty been awarded, was simply that it was against Barcelona today, I don’t think Barcelona fans need to seriously be angry against this decision this is like the one decision against them over numerous others in their favour. Luckily they were able to actually make a great comeback from such a terrible decision. This is just game week 2 and I can’t count very poor decisions made by referees again which shows that there is no sign for improvement for them.

For the comeback seriously I wasn’t actually expecting less, I was expecting a comeback and kept telling people around me that it was so early for a team like Levante to actually survive this Barcelona team for full 45 minutes, stealing a win against top clubs like Barcelona is best done when the goals come around the ending period of the game but if it is too early then it is usually hard for the underdog team to go all the way sometimes.

A great comeback by Barcelona as dropping points this early into the season might cost them later
