Overview

• Barcelona overturned Levante’s 2-0 halftime lead, with Pedri and Ferran Torres scoring before a 90+1 own goal delivered the winner.
• Levante coach Julián Calero insisted his team would not “roll out a red carpet” for the champions and noted absences for Koyalipou, Arriaga, Alfonso and Matturro, with Olasagasti only a tentative option.
• Pre‑match analysis highlighted Barcelona’s selection debate between Eric García and Jules Koundé and Joan García’s role stepping up as a libero against low blocks.
• Real Oviedo hosts Real Madrid at the Carlos Tartiere in its first top‑flight league match there in 24 years, with reports noting the club’s Grupo Pachuca ownership.
• In Argentina, Colón’s interim coach Ezequiel Medrán leaned on experienced players as goalkeeper Marcos Díaz remained separated from the squad, and Unión set Copa Argentina ticket sales for River at AR$35,000 (general) and AR$60,000 (plateas).
