From kickoff, e be like say Barcelona go dominate. Dem get ball plenty, with like 85% possession for first half, but Levante no come to play.

As first half dey end, wahala come again.Lamine Yamal lose ball near Levante box, and dem counter fast. Alejandro Balde try to block shot from José Luis Morales, but VAR catch am say im hand touch ball. Referee check screen and give penalty.
Morales, wey be 38 years old but still sharp like razor, convert the penalty for stoppage time, make e 2-0 for Levante.
Barça players dey vex, Hansi Flick dey para as dem enter dressing room. Fans sef don dey fear say na so dem go lose.
But if you know Barça, you go know say dem no dey give up. Hansi Flick, wey be master tactician, change things for second half.
E pull out Marcus Rashford, wey no really shine for im full debut, and Marc Casadó, bring in Dani Olmo and Gavi. Na dis change spark everything.
Just four minutes into second half, Pedri, wey be like orchestra conductor for midfield, fire one ogbonge 25-yard shot wey enter top corner. Levante fans just quiet, as Barça don cut their lead to 2-1.
Three minutes later, Raphinha whip one corner, and Ferran Torres, wey miss chance before, nod am in to make e 2-2. Na so stadium turn upside down again!
From there, Barça no gree slow down. Dem dey press Levante like say tomorrow no dey.
Pedri dey everywhere, complete 118 passes out of 126, and still dey win ball back like machine.
Levante try to hold dem, with their goalkeeper Pablo Campos making one fine save from Raphinha shot for 83rd minute.
But e be like say destiny don write say Barça go win dis one. For 91st minute, Lamine Yamal, wey be like small wizard with ball, float one dangerous cross into Levante box.
Unai Elgezabal, Levante defender, try to clear am, but e mistakenly head am into im own net. Barça fans scatter everywhere, as dem don steal 3-2 win for stoppage time!
Dis win no be small thing. According to stats people, na only second time in 99 La Liga matches wey Barça come back from 2-0 down at halftime away from home.
The last time na 1962 against Real Betis. Dis one show say Hansi Flick don bring back that never-say-die spirit wey Barça fans love.
Pedri, who dem call Man of the Match, talk say, “Dem score two goals, and the match tough, but I value the team’s reaction.” E clear say dis team get heart.
But no be say everything sweet pass. Barça defense, especially Pau Cubarsí and Ronald Araújo, no too sharp for first half.
Levante use their high line to punish dem, and dat na something Flick go need fix sharp-sharp if dem wan defend their La Liga title.
Still, the attack, with Lamine Yamal and Pedri leading, na pure fire. Yamal, wey cause the own goal and provide assist, dey show say e go be big problem for defenses this season.
Levante, wey just return to La Liga after promotion, go feel pain for dis loss, but dem play well.
Dem show say dem fit compete with big boys, but Barça just too strong for second half. Now, Barça don win their first two matches of the 2025/26 season, with six goals and three points from each.
Dem dey top La Liga table, and fans dey hope say dis kind comeback go define their season. Next stop na Rayo Vallecano, and e go be another test.
For X, fans dey hail Barça spirit. One user, @yamalverse, yarn say, “Solid performance by Lamine who provided 1 assist and caused the winning own goal.”
Another one, @ThikaTowntoday, call am “comeback completed,” while @VincoAfro say Barça attack “scary” but defense “leaky.”
Na true talk, but for now, Barça fans go dey celebrate dis ogbonge win wey show say dem still be comeback kings!
