Barcelona need not beat Madrid twice during this season in order to emerge as the Spanish champions once again if they get all 3 points in each league game. During the previous season, the Catalan Club defeated their rivals two times, but this season Madrid is stronger so the task of defeating them has become more formidable.

Levante occupy the fourth position in the league, having scored 23 goals, the third largest number of goals in La Liga. So Barcelona must put in all efforts to defeat Levante this time.

The Best Players on Both Teams

Alexis Sanchez is considered to be the top player this season, having played longer owing to the injuries of Pep Guardiola, the manager of the Barcelona team, which preventing him from selecting his 11 best every week.

Sanchez, being an excellent attacker and a fast player, scored two times in Barcelona’s winning match against Ray Vallecano Tuesday. Sanchez has a knack of dribbling past his opponents and scoring even before they have determined where he is.

Jaunlu, the veteran midfielder for Levante, is an excellent attacker. If Barcelona fails to close down on him as fast as possible, he will get his team mates making runs towards the goal because of his excellent passing skills. He has scored six goals in the league games during this season.

Considered to be the world’s top player, Messi has played the central role the most during this season and he has performed well. He has to his credit 15 goals in league play and a total of 69 shots. The only player who has scored more that Messi during this season is Christiano Ronoldo.

According to Arouna Kone, the Levante midfielder, the best team in Spain is the Real Madrid and that he feels that Real Madrid is far better than Barcelona.
