Barcelona pounces on Real Madrid stumble and regains lead of La Liga with 3-0 win over Levante

Barcelona capitalised on Real Madrid’s slip-up to reclaim first place in La Liga, sweeping aside relegation-threatened Levante 3-0 on Sunday evening. First-half goals from teenage midfielder Marc Bernal and Dutch engine Frenkie de Jong set the tone before second-half substitute Fermín López sealed the comfortable victory that ended the Catalans’ two-match winless streak. The result lifts Barcelona back to the summit of the table, applying fresh pressure to their perennial rivals after Madrid’s surprise stumble earlier in the weekend.
