barcelona – levante takes place Wednesday at 18:45 hours at the Johan Cruyff stadium, and Levante can be sent to Primera RFEF if it fails to take points in Barcelona. Andr\u00e9s Par\u00eds brings a side that is last in the standings and still has three league matches left after this one.<\/p>\n
Barcelona will also present its Liga title to supporters on the day, while Levante arrives with eight consecutive defeats and eight points on the board. The gap to DUX Logro\u00f1o, which marks the safety zone, is ten points.<\/p>\n
Johan Cruyff pressure<\/p>\n
The match comes at a difficult time for Barcelona, which is expected to rotate because it is already thinking about the Copa final on 16 May and the Champions League final on 23 May. Even so, the table gives this meeting a hard edge: Levante needs at least a point in Barcelona to keep its remote survival chances alive. <\/p>\n
Par\u00eds will ask for a response from a team that has run out of room for error. Any result other than winning, or at least leaving the city with a point, would send Levante to Primera RFEF.<\/p>\n
Levante’s narrow route<\/p>\n
Levante still has DUX Logro\u00f1o, Alhama and Badalona to play after Barcelona, but it arrives with no momentum and a bottom-place position that leaves little margin for recovery. The club’s history adds weight to the threat: it is a side with four Ligas, six Copas de la Reina and two Supercopas de Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
That record is why this trip is more than another relegation date. Levante is one step away from losing the category for the first time in its history, and the Johan Cruyff visit could leave that fate sealed before the final three rounds are played. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"barcelona – levante takes place Wednesday at 18:45 hours at the Johan Cruyff stadium, and Levante can be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[92,10174,6722,10173,1148,1895,5788,1853,95],"class_list":{"0":"post-18397","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-valencia","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-cruyff","10":"tag-faces","11":"tag-johan","12":"tag-levante","13":"tag-paris","14":"tag-survival","15":"tag-test","16":"tag-valencia"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
