Barça and Levante will face off this Sunday (4:15 pm) at the Spotify Camp Nou stadium in a match corresponding to matchday 25 of La Liga. The Catalan side is looking to regain the top spot in the league after a poor run of results, while the Valencian team wants to try and climb out of the relegation zone, where they sit second-to-last with 18 points.

Espanyol came very close to making history (1-1). After beating Vigo, Getafe and BilbaoThe worst home team in La Liga ended Manolo González's side's winning streak. Had they secured three points at the Ciutat de València, they would have won four consecutive away matches in La Liga for the first time in their 125-year history. Despite Romero's stunning goal, Levante, revitalized by Luis Castro's arrival as manager, denied them that record, but they also failed to claim their first home victory, which would have left them just two points above the relegation zone.

What will the beaches of the future be like? More importantly, will there be beaches at all? With these two powerful reflections, the Catalan Infrastructure Advisory Council (CAdIC) wanted to put on the table this Wednesday the "urgent" need to plan the management of sand on the Catalan coast to prevent beaches from disappearing.

Montilivi, the current territory of the faithful who truly want to suffer for him and with Girona, has ended up angry. In the duel between the bottom of the Primera Division, the Girona team has made it clear that, for now, they deserve the distinction of occupying the bottom spot in the table. Levante has accentuated the wound for Míchel's team with a deserved victory (0-4) marked by two red cards for Atlético players, both clear: Witsel's in the half-hour mark, still at 0-0; Vitor Reis's just after coming out of the locker room, already at 0-1.

Even disasters can bring positive results. Before Ounahi and Vanat's miraculous appearance at Balaídos, where Girona earned their first point of the season, Joel Roca was the bright spot in a losing start to the season. The striker from Camprodon scored the first goal of the season and was the only player to play 270 minutes across the opening three matchdays. He was on track for 360, but a knee injury in Vigo forced him to stay in the locker room at halftime. Fortunately, he has recovered for this Saturday's clash with Levante at Montilivi (2 PM, DAZN). However, his progress will be halted, as he has been called up next week to play for the Spanish national team for the U-20 World Cup in Chile, and could miss a month of competition.

All the alarm bells went off at the Ciutat de València, just as Hansi Flick had already warned. But the champions never want to lose. And in five magical minutes of the second half, their redemption began. The players, led by the magic of Pedri, avoided a slip-up that would have hurt at Levante (2-3).

"Coming to Levante wasn't a coincidence; it was my destiny. Just as I was meant to be in Atocha on March 11, 2004." Julián Calero's life has been full of obstacles he's had to overcome. He was one of the first police officers to arrive at Atocha after the attacks, he experienced the DANA tragedy in Valencia firsthand last year, and he saw his school friends die of overdoses at just 16 years old. This Saturday, the Parla-born manager will sit on the bench for Ciudad de Valencia to face Hansi Flick's Barça. "I've rubbed the crossbar of death a few times already. As a friend of mine says, the man with the grim reaper is looking for me, and I'm avoiding it," Calero joked in an interview with the newspaper. Brand.
