  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Heading into the fixture, Barcelona had not suffered a single home defeat in 46 consecutive league matches. However, Levante produced a monumental performance to derail their run and secure three crucial points. Goals from María Alharilla and Ivonne Chacón propelled the visitors to victory, despite a late strike from Fridolina Rolfo, which momentarily raised hopes of a Barcelona comeback.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  For years, the Estadi Johan Cruyff had been a fortress for Barcelona Femeni, with teams struggling to even claim a draw against the reigning champions. The last time the Catalan giants failed to secure all three points at home in Liga F was in February 2024, when Levante held them to a 1-1 draw, ending their 79-game winning streak at the time. In that previous encounter, Salma Paralluelo had given Barcelona the lead before Alba Redondo equalized in the 55th minute. Now, Levante has gone one step further by inflicting a rare home defeat on Barcelona, a result that will go down as one of the biggest surprises of the season.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Despite their setback, Barcelona remains firmly in control at the top of the table. They have 48 points from 17 matches while second-placed Real Madrid are on 40, with a game in hand.

Following their cup clash, Barcelona will turn their attention back to Liga F action with a highly anticipated derby against Espanyol on February 9.
