Real Madrid's defeat in Pamplona opened the door for Barcelona to take the top spot in La Liga.
Under Hansi Flick, Barça will face Levante at home and must seize this opportunity to reclaim the lead. Levante is at the bottom of the table, has gone four games without a win, and has never beaten Barça at Spotify Camp Nou.
Madrid failed to maintain their leadership due to a late goal from Osasuna following a serious error. The team is struggling physically and mentally after being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona will have a week off after the Levante match, while Madrid must face Mourinho's Tottenham. This schedule difference could be crucial in this tight season.
Flick has brought back key player Pedri, who might play for the first time after a month injured. However, a more conservative midfield approach is expected.
Despite two recent losses, Barcelona looks poised to regain the top spot if they overcome Levante. League titles are won in matches like these.
