Barcelona rival watch: Atletico Madrid drop points in 0-1 loss against Levante

After two consecutive defeats at the hands of Real Madrid and Athletic Club, Barcelona have had enjoyed the last two weeks. Firstly, they defeated Deportivo Alaves courtesy of a last-minute winner and then put four past Atletico Madrid in a 4-2 win at the Camp Nou.

While the derby against Espanyol was topsy turvy, the Catalans were lucky to come out of that game with a point after a really rusty second-half display.

And today, they have been greeted with Atletico dropping points again, this time at home vs Levante.

The Valencia outfit defeated them 0-1 after midfielder Gonzalo Melero found the back of the net in the 54th minute.

Atletico Madrid won a penalty a few minutes later, but it was overruled after Marcos Llorente was found offside during the build-up.

A late equaliser from Angel Correa was also ruled out after Jose Gimenez was found to be fouling a player in the box seconds earlier.

As things stand, Barcelona have retained fourth place in the table and now have a game over Atletico with both teams level on 39 points. Before anything else, though, their focus will be on the Europa League clash vs Napoli.
