    Marc-Andre ter Stegen is off the line quickly to collect a loose ball. That should be it...

    Luuk de Jong

    At what point will this circus stop!

    Jordi Alba from the left wing, nice and early with the deliver, Luuk de Jong fresh from the bench is off the spot quickly to get in at the near post and head home.

    What a game. What a weekend.

    On 79 minutes I wrote: "Clement Lenglet will be on shortly. Barca look set to sure things up a bit."

    On 81 minutes he conceded a penalty.

    Five added minutes. What an end to the weekend. Go on you lads out there, give us more drama...

  7. Postpublished at 21:48 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    I'm guessing 20 minutes of added time containing 14 penalties.

    Barca can win it.... Gavi slid through... one-on-one.... saved by Dani Cardenas.

    Are you not entertained my friends?

    Another momentum shift and now it's Levante pushing for a winner.

    A dead ball to the right of the area is driven in but Ronald Araujo boots clear.

    Gonzalo Melero

    Gonzalo Melero whips the ball back across his body and into the bottom corner. Marc-Andre ter Stegen goes the wrong way.

    Anyone for a fourth penalty? We've come this far ladies and gents...

  11. PENALTY TO LEVANTEpublished at 82 mins

    Levante 1-2 Barcelona

    You have got to be kidding me. Their third of the night.

    Dani Gomez gets in behind, he cuts in and Clement Lenglet, who has been on for about a minute, clips him. It's just inside the box and it's the right call for me.

    Three penalties. What more can you ask for?

    Dani Alves is off, Clement Lenglet on. Alves rolled his ankle badly in the first half you may recall and he looks in a little pain. My guess is when that boot comes off things are going to swell.

    Alex Cantero has a dig across goal from the edge of the box and it's not too far away. Levante still looking to threaten.

    Clement Lenglet will be on shortly. Barca look set to sure things up a bit.

    This my friends is where this game was likely won.

    A save that's worth more than a goal...

    Son - who won the first Levante penalty - gets forward and bends a low effort which Marc-Andre ter Stegen gets down to hold. Good hands.

    Levante 1-2 Barcelona

    Barca suddenly have energy in how they chase down balls and Levante have little to offer. Pedri and Gavi have been bouncing out there since coming on and the home midfield looks like it is chasing shadows on times.

    Gavi spins a midfielder and lines up a shot from range that is blocked.

    Levante 1-2 Barcelona

    Barcelona win a free-kick 35 yards out. What a strange game we've seen. They were literally relaxed to the point of ignorance until the moment they went behind. Now they're in control and you can understand why Levante look like they're feeling sorry for themselves.

    Ferran Torres lifts the free-kick over the bar. We have a quarter of the game remaining, Barca are heading second.

    Pedri

    As I said, drab game.

    Gavi and Pedri have been on the field for seven minutes or so.

    Gavi pulls the ball back for Pedri on the edge of the box and he just whips it across goal and into the corner.

    Brutal on Levante. A momentum swing and drama that belongs on a Netflix box set.

    Please help me.

    Levante's Morales slotted a penalty. Four minutes later they got another one.

    Why didn't he take it? I'm lost.
