These newly advanced teams from the lower division are creating surprises. Barcelona was fully dominating the match but effective defense and counterattack made Barcelona nearly lose it. Atletico Madrid was too made to share the points with Elche. It's not that these teams would come in and just take the lead but the difficulty in playing them for larger teams could be due to their lower exposure to that team and their strategies. With teams playing each other more, they'd be more ready to handle the teams like they do to other teams they are used to.
When Levante took a two-goal lead against Barcelona, I was shocked and surprised. For a moment, I wondered if Barcelona would drop points in this match. I'm sure many Real Madrid fans expected them to drop points. However, Barcelona made a magnificent comeback, scoring three goals to win the match. Such comebacks are rare from great teams. Even after falling behind 2-0, I still thought they could win the match. In the end, Barcelona won.
The introduction of Gavi and Olmo at the start of the second half changed everything for Barcelona, turning the game around.
I wasn't really surprised by Barcelona's sensational comeback, even with the winning goal coming in the final minutes. I think they deserved to win the match after their impressive performance. However, they made a lot of unforced errors in the first half, allowing Levante to capitalize on their chances. Barcelona managed to cover for those mistakes in the second half.
This also demonstrates Barcelona's mentality; they are a strong team with a high chance of winning the title again this season.
