Football is sometimes so cruel. Or wonderful. Depending on who are you cheering.If you’re a Barca fan, then you have all the reasons to be happy after tonight’s Blaugrana 3-2 away win at Levante, which keeps the Catalans in the title race.❗️FT | Levante 2-3 BarcelonaXAVI CELEBRATING THE WINNING GOAL! pic.twitter.com/x6W7DZaybS— FC Barcelona Fans Nation (@fcbfn_live) April 10, 2022 However, if you sympathise with those charming minnows like Valencia-based reds and blues, this Sunday night has been dreadful for you.The underdogs were one up and were rewarded a penalty in the 56th minute. By the 63rd, they were losing 2-1.Then, later, scored another from the spot to tie the game at two. And still lost in the end.My, oh, my… what a crazy second half that was, after teams went to locker-rooms with 0-0 on a scoreboard at the half-time.3️⃣ penalties were awarded to Levante 😳 De Jong scored a stoppage time winner in the 92nd minute to secure a 3-2 win over Levante for Barcelona 🔥 pic.twitter.com/3gwJU5ytMu— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) April 10, 2022 Levante players and coaching staff probably still can’t get their head around the fact Levante enjoyed a 1-0 lead thanks to Morales’ penalty and had another one to double the lead only three minutes later. The giants were on their knees, probably displaying the worst 50 minutes of football since Xavi’s arrival to the dugout. But, it simply wasn’t meant to be.Ter Stegen made a brilliant save, while Marti failed to repeat Morales’ accuracy from the spot and wrap up the game within 56 minutes. Instead, Barca was resurrected in an unprecedented manner, almost instantly. Ex-Arsenal captain Aubameyang shined with his trademark header following Dembele’s perfect cross to tie the game. Stunned hosts were easy prey from there, as Barcelona sealed their blitzkrieg with a magnificent Pedri goal. His close friend and another La Masia gem, Gavi, supplied Pedri with an accurate pass, and the latter concluded this crazy turnaround.But it was anything but the end of the game. Lenglet made a horrible mistake and fouled Levante’s striker in front of the referee for the home team’s third penalty of the night!Melero was on the target from the spot, and the score was levelled once more, with seven minutes left on the clock. ##EDITORS_CHOICE##At that moment, Xavi made a bit strange call – at least, it seemed then for us – pulling out Auba and trying to grab a late win with Luuk de Jong. However, ‘an act of despair’ turned out to be a decisive, praiseworthy move. The Dutch striker scored a brilliant injury-time header to put a cherry on top of this crazy rollercoaster that provided us with everything football offers in the last 40 minutes.The Game Winner pic.twitter.com/ymKKWHaErZ— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) April 10, 2022 LA LIGA – ROUND 31FridaySevilla – Granada 4-2 (1-1)/Diego Carlos 32, Ocampos 66, Mir 90+3, Papu Gomez 90+9 – Machis 23, Diaz 88/SaturdayCadiz – Betis 1-2 (0-0)/Alejo 58 – Tello 78, Iglesias 85 pen/Mallorca – Atl.Madrid 1-0 (0-0)/Muriqi 68 pen/Villareal – Ath.Bilbao 1-1 (0-1)/Pedraza 60 – Garcia 43/Real Madrid – Getafe 2-0 (1-0)/Casemiro 38, Lucas 68/SundayOsasuna – Alaves 1-0 (0-0)/Budimir 90+2/Espanyol – Celta 1-0 (0-0) /Lei 89/Elche – Sociedad 1-2 (1-2)/Carillo 3 – Sorloth 31, Le Normand 39/Levante – Barcelona 2-3 (0-0)/Morales 53 pen, Melero 83 pen – Aubameyang 59, Pedri 63, De Jong 90+2/Monday22:00: (2.40) Rayo Vallecano (3.20) Valencia (3.35)***odds are subject to change***
