FC Barcelona returned to the winning path in a crucial match, regaining the top spot after Real Madrid's slip.
Under Hansi Flick's management, Barça clearly defeated Levante, who are close to relegation, with goals from Marc Bernal, Frenkie de Jong, and Fermín López.
Famous commentator Julio Maldini analyzed the match on his YouTube channel, emphasizing that Barça has regained leadership and highlighting Pedri as structurally the most important player for the team.
Maldini pointed out that while Levante competed well, the difference in squad quality is significant. The key moment was Bernal's early goal, after which Barça dominated the match, especially in the second half.
He also noted the impressive tactical plan by Flick involving frequent midfield incursions into the finishing zone against Levante's five-man defense, exemplified by Bernal and de Jong's goals.
With the score 2-0, the game was practically decided, and the third goal came from a beautiful long-range shot by Fermín.
Joao Cancelo was named the best player of the match by Maldini, who praised his sensational first-half performance, frequent runs on the left flank, and dangerous crosses.
According to Maldini, Cancelo's arrival at Barça initially raised doubts, but his recent matches show a remarkable improvement.
